Jeff,

I don't build too much with Cocobolo. I know some others love it, but it is not one of my favorites and I think the last one I made with cocobolo was in 2005? It did have some nice spider webbing and ink lines but not quite like to one Mary posted. Lance Krangenbrink builds with cocobolo quite a bit.

Thanks everyone else for the nice comments
