Just got my coco for my "THE BUILD" for myself from Hibdon bliss . Whoever pointed me at the direction of contacting Jerry, thank you. He went out of his way to help me pick what I wanted, sent me pix, and took his time to provide me exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Jerry and everyone that helped. By the way, the stuff looks WAY better in real life than on the pix. I assure you that even the pictures on the website do not do any of the wood justice, so if you see something you like but just arn't sure, go for it!! You'll love it when it comes and you won't regret it! Most deffinately will be buying from you again

Gratz on the score!

If you haven't worked with cocobolo before, you might be careful of the dust. Some people are very sensitive to it, and a few folks I know just won't work with it at all.

It's a beautiful wood, and it makes the coolest little piles of oily orange sawdust when you cut it!

Hibdon has a great place and Jerry and his staff are second to NONE when it comes to service and quality. You wont be disappointed . The down side I have is he is only 2 hrs away , and for a zootaholic thats dangerous ! laughing6-hehe

Yep, worked with plenty of cocobolo and so far I'm good with it. I actually love the way it smells. Really weird how the different cocobolo's (i.e. mexico, guatemala?? I think) or wherever else they come from. They smell similar but quite different, and have a different look as well.

Yeah I want to make a special one for myself, so I call it The Build :) I'll be putting a lot of ideas in it that I got from here (Mainly will be playing with Todd's inspired radial purflings with coco). Pretty much making an eye candy for myself, well and hopefully ear candy also :D

It'll be sinker redwood top that I already got, nicely figured cocobolo, curly koa bindings with cocobolo radial purflings. I'm also going to try and make a coco radial rosette. I was aiming to get a dark look out of this one, and really what inspired that was this http://ryanguitars.com/NewsandEvents/Gu ... stDeco.htm
