The site should be fixed. We show secure now, we should have a favicon and the picture aspect should be better.

I love cocobolo. I just wish I could make things with it. I turned some cocobolo on my wood lathe years ago. Had the nastiest poison ivy like rash that lasted for 6 weeks. I won't allow it in my shop anymore. I'm even afraid of owning grips and such made from it. Probably be OK, but why take a chance? I got a little bit of a rash from wearing a cocobolo pen clipped to my shirt. And it had a film finish on it.

On the turning forums they say it's not a question of IF you are allergic to cocobolo, but WHEN you will have your first reaction.
