Ok, I was undecided on the Cocobolo. Is it Honduran? Is the African Blackwood really Wenge? (Nah...) Again, that's some really purty stuff there. SK |

To me, the bocote gave itself away in the top pic with the bodies stacked. It wasn't obvious at all in the next pic (I have some bocote, and it looks similar, but it doesn't resemble coco at all. Least not the stuff I currently have) |
