I recently re-sawed a piece of Cocobolo that I have had for some time it was very old and black. Look what I got once it was sawn and sanded. Beautiful but spooky-scary almost. Just right for a holloween uke. The grain is so wild that I don't know if it would bend. The figure is so ghoulish that I am not quite sure it would be good on a ukulele.
But it sure is fascinating. Following are several photos of it. What would you do with it?

Do you feel like you are being watched. How's that for a book match?
Whoa !, this makes me feel dizzy, or nauseated, or excited, I am not sure which, fascinating for sure. I will have to give this a lot of thought, In the meantime I will sand it down to .070 or .075 and contemplate it's future. Maybe I will start a new instrument on Halloween eve, and this would sure be the wood to use.
