Bocote sierra

[its_virgil]

I've been moving a short piece of bocote around my shop for several months now. It always seems to be just where I'm looking when searching for something else. Well! No Longer! I drilled that sucker and it now lives on a sierra frame. Enjoy and comments welcome.

Hey Don, that beautiful bit of wood wouldn't have lasted that long in my shop[] I'm also glad you said bocote, cos I would have guessed it as olivewood.[:I] Nice work.

Wouldn't have lasted that long in mine either[] Man, that looks good..... really, really pretty.

Very nice! All of my Bocote is a good bit darker than that.

John,
I have several more that are regular size. Three of us shared a 14 board that was (almost)1" thick and 4+ inches wide. I had four shorties left over. I cut about 40 blanks from my third and my part of the cost was $20. It was a super nice bird's eye bocote...or that was how it was labeled.

Thanks also to the others who commented on the wood or the pen. I always appreciate the comments. We do have fun here and in our shops, don't we!
