I bought a pallet of cocobolo scraps. Some of it looks just like rosewood,

until I found a piece that was orange on one side and brown on the other.
I have some kingwood that was purple to start with, but browned up some
after I used it; presumably the cocobolo is doing the same?

Cocobolo darkens _a_lot_ with age.

I got about 150 pounds for $50. About a quarter went to firewood
immediately and the rest will probably be reduced by half when I trim it to
useable pieces, but still gives me a huge amount of wood for little
projects. Now I just need some little projects.

Got a lathe?
