Al that's a nice one. I like the grain patterns and the way you've line up the rings.

What glue did you use. I have had quite a bit of problem gluing cocobolo.

Chuck,
I have much success with oringinal Tite- Bond. I only use kiln dried and run it thru a drum sander before glue up.

Chuck-

Have you washed your pieces of Cocobolo with alcohol or acetone before gluing? The parts that are to be glued. Cocobolo has natural oils that need to be done away with ( oil on the surface and just below) before gluing, so the glue can bond with the wood.
