Mica or Val, What a great piece of Coco! Is that picture oddly exposed or am I seeing lots of yellow in the grain? From past experience, what will the color of this board end up like after you shoot the finish? Will it be more toward the reddish-orange end of the spectrum? It seems like cocobolo changes color so much every time a picture is posted on the same project that it becomes difficult to make a decision based on what I see. One that comes to mind is Rory's cocobolo bass in that the first posting of the raw piece the wood appears dark brown yet when finished a beautiful deep reddish tone surfaces. I find that facinating but difficult to predict. I leave it in your expert hands. Mike
