Possibilities...

So, I went to Woodcraft today to look at a new woodburner. They didn't have what I wanted in stock, but I made the mistake of checking for any new wood that could be used in my spindles. I got a nice piece of brightly colored 3/4" Cocobolo and was headed to the register when I saw this...

This has to be one of the best and most interestingly figured pieces of Cocobolo I've ever seen in my life. It practically takes my breath away. It's a small piece at only 3/8" x 3" x 24". Much too thin to use for my Turkish spindles. Plus, to use it on something that small would totally take away from the overall look of the board.

I have no idea what it will end up being, but I simply couldn't leave it in the store. It came home with me, and it's sitting on my desk so I can admire it and dream of the possibilities...
