Can any of my Canadian brothers lead me to a supplier on our side of the border for Cocobolo lumber? I'll be making fretboard, bridge, bindings and some other accent pieces from it.... |

I presume you've tried Bowriver? Might also be worth a call to http://eastcoastspecialtyhardwoods.com in Dartmouth, NS -- they list the species, but doesn't mean they have stock. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Ya I was at Bowriver just a couple weeks ago, they don't have any cocobolo.... I'll send out some emails this week to some of the locals but thought I'd check with the crowd first.... |

Hi Rod, just got back from Abbotsford this evening. Picked up a bunch of curly maple slabs from Andy. Try Chanin Hardwood in YEG. I know he had a bunch, but could be tough to actually get it from him. Westwind Hardwood in Sydney sometimes carries it. Windsor Plywood, must be half a dozen or so,but they will make you pay Try GoodFellow, generally a wholesaler ,but maybe worth a try, Richmond I think Exotic Hardwood, Burlington Ont. A&M Cambridge Ont. |

I think I may have a few coco fretboard and bridge blanks kicking around here on the Island if you need them right away Rod. |

Windsor can come up with some nice surprises. Picked up a board of nice Zircote that gave me 3 FB, head plates and bridges for $50. Price that yield out elsewhere. |

Got some from Exotic Hardwood in Ontario. Enough for 2 fretboards and bridges and enough for at least 20 pieces of binding. Here's the fretboards and the block from the same board for the bridges. Attachment: fretboard.jpg

I wonder if Josh House at Canadian Luthier Supply could help you ... he's hooked up with Hibdon Hardwoods in the U.S. somehow, and can sometimes get wood brought up? |
