So I'm sitting on the chicken bus on my way to Northern Honduras and this guy gets on the bus with a set of Cocobolo sized for a guitar. And I'm like no way. Anyhoot we start talking and pointing and showing each other pics of our work, It was one of the highlights of the trip. Now I have a luthier buddy in Honduras. He told me the cost per set was about $20-30 depending on quality . His set was dead on qtr.

Fellows you cant bring back Rosewood without the proper Cites paperwork. If only I could I would have brought back a 100 sets at 20-30 a set.
