Went Cocobolo hunting today! Took me about 45 minutes, but I got one! (board foot)......That stuff is heavy! (and expensive!) Can't wait to cut into it, hope no bad surprises......medium orange brown, with quite a bit of figure, BTW, Hugh told me where to hunt, and sure enough, there they was!!! till..later....G.T.

I am sure you downed it with your check book or VISA Card!!

G.T. · 04-18-2001, 09:30 PM

Nope! I hit him with a debit card, a little light for this type of game....but I had the visa to back me up if he had charged!! till...later...G.T.

G.T.,

Glad you found the Cocobolo, just remember that you need to boil it good to make it tender, ha, ha
