I just cut into a cocobolo billet this morning and thought I'd share some pics of the resulting sets. These shots are "dry", fresh off of the bandsaw, no liquid used to pop the grain, so we'll have use our imagination as to the "wet look".




Cheers,
Greg

I'd leave the layout right where it is...pushing it forward would bring the flatsawn area out of the bouts, where it looks mighty fine...

I would put it up for sale on the swap meet on Monday... That's just my opinion

I hope you got lots of sets from the billet, it looks really nice!!

Boy, that looks killer. Where did you score the billet? I love to run into something like that.
