I paid too much for this.. but could not resist
 

Hello, I'm John kinnaird and I'm a wood-a-holic

But this cocobolo has incredible figure and as far as I, or anyone, else can tell it's quarter sawed, though there are so many swirls. And I'm pretty sure this will make two sets back and sides, plus fingerboard, overlays, bridges etc, etc.

Then there was the black walnut with curl. I need help.

Cormark takes all my beer money

I love and hate that feeling! But at the same time if you don't buy it... someone else will!

Your thoughts on Cocobolo tonally?

Think rosewood. It's like that

Love the coco, John--nice find!

Nice stash!
 

"woodaholic". I like that. I am sure loving my JK guitars. Played two loud big rooms acoustically today. The babies sure put out the BIG SOUND!!! And the sound is so Fat and Warm, too.

Sorry to hear all you beer money is tied up in wood, but someone will be stoked!

Cheers

Paul

W.A.S. is a Disease that is hard to stop
Even though I have more than I can ever use, I never stop looking for that perfect piece, and once it's gone, it's gone.
Beautiful piece of Coco and hard to replace. Good score

Nice score.

Well thanks guys. You are all co-enablers.

Pssst, hey buddy, need some cocobolo?

LOL under your gray rain jacket?

If it makes you feel any better, I'm struggling to come up with a number that I'd consider "too much" for that cocobolo. :ha:

Needless to say, I love that Cocobolo !!!

I knew this guy would show up to the party sooner or later :D
