That would be unique. Michael, I have only used cocobolo like wood for inlays or in one instance as the lid for a box. It might be cool to make the sides out of it. I think I would need to keep the overall size small or the grain would be too overpowering. Kari, What a great idea. I never even thought of that. I need to pick up that book and look into it.

Kari,
What a great idea. I never even thought of that. I need to pick up that book and look into it.

I'd cut in in half lengthwise then resaw the flitches into 1/2" thick planks to form the sides of the case. The other half of the original block could have a few veneers sliced off and then leave the rest for turnings. The only concern I would have of course is the possibility for irritability from the dust. That block has the dimensions that I look for for slicing down into wood for my cases.

The first think that I saw was the strip of sapwood. I think that I would resaw two thin pieces for a bookmatched door panel or box top. Then you can use the rest for turning or something else. --Mark <a href="http://thecraftsmanspath.com" rel="nofollow">The Craftsman's Path</a> Shannon,

A project will happen and that chunk will leap out of the treasure hoard and shout "pick me, pick me" like a small kid trying to get in a pick up sports team. Don't force it, the wood will go surly and not communicate with you. Just keep on coming up with new ideas for projects and going over to the hoard and asking the fellas who wants to be in this one.... one of them always answers....
