Mike,
Pick the cocobolo carefully as you might need a truss as well as a truss-rod to prevent the player getting a hernia! Some cocobolo can be pretty heavy (. . . man

I can provide sizes... does anybody have a source for Cocobolo for something the size of a Dyer Harp Guitar? The back will be three pieces (to accomodate the harp arm). The request is for back and sides. Mike |

Sounds like a very cool project Mike! Todd is correct, we do have some very nice cocobolo lumber in stock. PM me (with dimensions) if you'd like to see any images. All the Best, Andrew |

If the sponsors don't have what you want, check with Grant Goltz. He has a pretty good stash of Coco, and might even be able to cut something to order for your needs. |
