Have you bought cocobolo recently? It's not going to get cheaper, either... And some luthiers...Kathy Wingert for one...charge a hefty premium for cocobolo because of the precautions they have to take to avoid serious allergic reactions to the dust and oils. |

TONYFRANCISTOOLWORKS.com, "Toothing irons, totes and Knob's"... I can see that phone running of the hook... I can see a lot of dubious product SPAM e-mails heading your way too unless you change the wording slightly! |

Well, you could just do what I did and go to Costa Rica yourself! No, I didn't find any tonewood, but I am pretty sure it could be found with some poking around! By the way, this beauty was about $40. I kind of hate to put salad in it!

When I ordered my last batch of goodies from the Canadian rep of LN, Rob Cosman, I had the same idea for coco handle and knob... the guy I talked to on the phone said just forget about cocobolo... he said that it was being discontinued,,, while perhaps that was once a consideration, it appears that now its available again but appreciably more costly.(mabye the guy was just yanking my chain to get me to buy stock they had on hand I dont know,,, What I do know is that I like the cherry well enough - I can always make a new tote and knob myself if I want a fancier one....
