Live edge coco or bocote?

[The100road]

Looking for a couple pieces of live edge cocobolo or bocote (must have some heartwood in them) that I can cast into a pot call blank. 4x4x1.

So must be at least 1” thick x 4” long x 2” wide.

Or bigger. Would like to be able to make 3-4 blanks.

Thanks!

Thanks mike. I know you said you had soMe but was Buried at the moment. And it was a large piece you’d have to cut i think.

Sap or no sap Is okay. Just want some heartwood in there. :)

Stan, I don't want to step on any toes but I have two slabs of cocobolo I brought back from mexico 20 years ago. One is roughly 1 x 4 x 10.5 and the other is 1.25 x 5 x 11.5. I am not sure they are what you are looking for, they have a natural edge but looks like someone hacked off all the bark and sapwood.

 

[The100road]

Thank you Isaac. I think I could make either one of those work. Does the live edge side have wax on it?

How much do you want for one or both?

 

[isaacrapelje]

The live edge stuff doesn't have wax it looks like straight natural edge. I don't really know what cocobolo is worth these days seems like prices are all over the place.

Awesome. I’ll take a better look at these shortly and will let you know. Thank you!

@Albert Kiebert i am going to get the pieces from @isaacrapelje but would also like to get #1 & #7 from you if you can take payment Friday.

 

[Albert Kiebert]

Stan, I can wait, Got #1 & 7 set aside for you. I can ship these in a USPS F/R/P Medium side loading box to save you some $$ if you want, otherwise it's $20 for a Large Game Box. The Medium box has a 13.5" inside length, if that works just tell me where to cut both boards.

 

[The100road]

Both board cut in half would work for me. Sure would like to take up some more space in the box. I’ll see how much $ the wife will give me for allowance this week. Haha

 

[Albert Kiebert]

I happen to have a Medium Box full of mostly Red Mallee siting around. Odd shapes, cracked pen blanks, pie shaped cuts, etc... $35

 

[isaacrapelje]

Stan can you cast this stuff YCB, buckeye and baniska?

 

[The100road]

Box received @isaacrapelje thank you! I’ll start on you blanks next week.

 

[isaacrapelje]

@The100road great, feel free to dye any of them if you think they will look better, I know the buckeye might be a good candidate. I am looking forward to seeing what you make.
Thanks

 

[The100road]

@isaacrapelje all finished up! I’ll get them shipped out tomorrow.
