Stuck in my thumb and pulled out a plum!

I bought myself a jet drum sander for Christmas and I grabbed a square of rough sawn Bocote I have had in a stack for about 6 years. Ran it through the sander to see how it worked. I was quite pleased at what lay under that oxidized surface. I now want to surface that entire stack but can't imagine finding anything that makes me more happy than this one. Not a bad score for six bucks. Four sides:

Would look good matched with some super-dark ebony.

Guess you had a Merry Christmas. Love bocote with lots of eyes.

You are right. I am finishing one up right now that has bocote forearm and butt sleeve with ebony handle.
