Very nice Alton! I love cocobolo, but it sure make you earn the finished product with its smell, oils and trying to finish it. I just wish it wouldn't darken with age.
Very nice Alton. I got a "short" in a batch from you that was spectacular, but the finish made it too dark and took the edge off. Turned a skinny heart/sap blank from the same batch last night that will dress a comfort hardware--i'm undecided on whether to spray lacquer or just give it a wax--or go back to CA. That's a nice batch of coco you have!!

I really like cocobolo, but can't use it at the center because of the allergy problem. I found some really pretty Macacauba (granadillo) the other day, that is close to cocobolo in color and grain, but doesn't have the allergy factor.
