Up for grabs this time is a set of Cocobolo with a very dramatic back. Lots of color and movement in the grain. This will look spectacular under finish.

Retail value is $200. We will end the auction early for a bid of $175 and include FREE domestic shipping.

Otherwise this auction ends tomorrow at 4PM EST (a little later than usual to let our west coast friends get their day started)

it's book matched (you can tell at the bottom of the set), but that figure near the top is a bit asymetrcial, I suspect that was running through the log at an angle and each slice took a little more of it.

I also thought that the reverse of that bookmatch would look nice
