Here are some blanks I cut from a larger blank. I think one is bocote and the other cocobolo but, for the life of me, I cannot remember which is which. Any help would be appreciated!

I am going to disagree. I think the bottom is Bocote, it seems to have the yellow in the lighter colour tones that is typical of Bocote.
The top blank looks too light a colour to be cocobolo, but it might still be.

I think the bottom is the cocobolo. The top is a mystery. I don't think it is walnut (a little too dark for me). It might be wenge, but it is hard to tell Wenge usually has larger,more defined black streaks in it. If you turn a bit of it and it smells like dentyne, I would go wenge (at least that's what I think it smells like!)

-Good luck!
