Finished 5-11-2022, Original block was 22% MC, and took 12 months to stabilize after roughing and anchorseal. Turns and finishes well, although a bit oily.....clogs sandpaper. 7 5/16" x 2 5/8"
Note: Cocobolo will likely not be available to us in the near future.
From the wood data base:
Sustainability: Cocobolo is listed on CITES appendix II under the genus-wide restriction on all Dalbergia species—which also includes finished products made of the wood (though finished items under 10 kilograms are exempted). It is also listed on the IUCN Red List as vulnerable due to a population reduction of over 20% in the past three generations, caused by a decline in its natural range, and exploitation.
