I'm not sure about the Bocote - I think that may be a supply issue. I do know that they don't offer Cocobolo on a regular basis because the toxicity of the sawing/sanding dust. Once in a while they'll make a few up and put them in the Showcase, but it's not something they'll take orders for.

Yeah, NO ONE likes Cocobolo. It may be a pretty wood to look at, but the guys in the shop have a different attitude about working with it.

I'm not arguing that it doesn't look good. In fact, it's one of the most aesthetically pleasing woods out there. But most people have severe reactions trying to work with it.
