Snakewood is a premium exotic hardwood used in violin bow making for its strength, density, and distinctive natural figure. It has long been valued by bow makers, violin makers, and luthiers who work with fine string instruments and custom bow construction. Its bold grain and rich colour make it especially attractive for high-end and custom violin bows.

In violin bow making, Snakewood is often chosen for parts that require both stability and visual character. It is commonly used in custom violin bows, restoration work, and specialty bow making where traditional tonewoods are combined with more decorative or rare materials.
