Post subject:  purchasing of cocobolo

Hallo. I am interested in buying cocobolo for guitar construction. Is there a possibility to buy a big piece of cocobolo so that i will be able to cut muself the pieces for the guitar?


Do you know a place where I can buy either in England or Germany ? I live in Greece and i cannot find anywhere here but i have relatives in these countries.

Or any other country from which they make shipment to greece at a logical cost? We are 3-4 persons that are interested and thats why we need a big piece and not ready cut pieces. Besides we may use it for other instruments.

i have already the following

thanks !!!!

www.espen.de sells guitar sets and stuff, and is in Germany.

Do be careful with Cocobolo because the dust is highly allergic and possibly poisonous.
