I pulled two pieces of very nice cocobolo out of my pile last night. The important dimensions are shown on the photos below as well as the prices. Will ship in a LFRB for $18.

You can get many call blanks, pen blanks, and even a few pot call blanks out of these pieces.

It is priced right, but I have to wait till Friday and pay my bills to see what's left. Been spending a bit lately, lol. You know I'm a sucker for coco.
 
Are you sure that's cocobolo? I'm not saying it's not, it's just that from what I can see in those pics it looks more like Honduran rosewood.

You’ve got great credit with me. I’ll ship it to you and you can pay me next month... with no interest or loan origination fees. :haggle:
 
I'll take that second board with the sap wood if you'll split them up.

Like you said on your website, rosewoods come in all colors and grain patterns. Like you show, the same species can be almost black and almost golden depending on where it was grown, I suppose. I posted a photo of some pen blanks from a sister board of the ones shown above. See below. I think everyone here said it was cocobolo and so did Rick Hearne's guy.

Hm ... I saw that, then erased it. It magically came back. I think the base software of this forum is overly good about retaining partial responses.

DAMN. Now I can't get rid of it at all

Had to delete the whole post just to get rid of the bandsaw info. Probably should have just left it all but what the heck. We're in agreement that it's cocobolo.
