Spider webbing cocobolo?
Hi guys, I recently resawn a cocobolo billet. Since the cocobolo billet has only 4 1/2'' in width. Will it worth for a 4 piece back guitar or just use as ukulele back and sides? I barely see this kind of figure and color in cocobolo, is this rare?

I've built many 4 piece back guitars, absolutely nothing wrong with doing that.
How about some pics? |

That is some amazing looking cocobolo. Wings in the lower bout are perfectly acceptable, but I would take some pains to work around the figure so that the extra joints are not obvious.

Yeah that's very strange if you copy and paste the links they work however clicking them here takes you to a website.
Anyway... WOW! yes that stuff is amazingly beautiful! |

I've used a fair amount of cocobolo for non-guitar making activities. In my experience maybe 10% of the cocobolo I've seen has spider webbing figure.
Nothing wrong with 4-piece backs. If joined well, and the grain suitable, the extra seams can be invisible. |

Cuz I know the guy sold me this billet has some extra(much bigger). I am thinking to buy some. Quite expensive though.

I'm curious to know what 'quite expensive' is?
