just thought i'd share a little
i travel to costa rica alot and finally found a guy who has cocobolo. a few years ago i made my first guitar from a piece of other native hardwood called "cristobal". check out the vid for that if u want.
But anyway here is some pics from the pieces i got recently on my trip there.
It starts in the mountain city called sarchi. Met this guy, cut me some cocobolo straight from a log. he also gave me some purpleheart. the wood hs been drying for a year. i recently had another guy resaw the pieces into many different thickness planks.
