I've been sitting on this cocobolo for a couple of years. It's been up in my loft and when I got it, it was wax covered, so you really couldn't see the grain, but you still knew that you had something good....
Well...I decided to make a box out of it and just ran it through the planer and ran it down to 7/8".... I don't know if the picture does it justice, but...when the wax coating went up in to the planer and I saw what was coming out...it took my breath away.
