Special Note about Cocobolo:
Due to my increasing sensitivity to cocobolo dust, I have had to make the decision to limit my use of it as a tone wood. It has been one of my favorites due to it's beauty and deep alto tones. Please bear with me and be expecting increased upcharges on any cocobolo that I do build with because of the added precautions required in the building process.

November 2005 update: By being very careful about my exposure to cocobolo dust, I have been able to build with it without adverse reaction. The added time and care require an upcharge of $1000, far beyond the actual price of the wood, but I'm pleased to be able to continue to use cocobolo.

June 2006 update: I'm careful as always, and I'm very excited by the acquisition of some of the prettiest sets of coco I have yet seen. I have some seriously delicious sets! I just can't lay off the stuff.
