Finished up some cocobolo slimlines this evening. My first time working with cocobolo. I ordered some blanks a few weeks ago and ended up getting shipped 5/8" blanks, they let me keep them for $0.25 each and sent me the proper blanks, I decided to use up some of the 5/8" on slimlines that I give to coworkers. I was surprised by the color of the blanks after turning them down, the raw blanks were almost a uniform dark red. I assume that they will slowly oxidize back to the dark red color. Three down, seven more ready to turn and finish.
