Cocobolo Knobs

[Andrew Gibson]

I found a guy relatively locally that imports lumber from South America and I was able to get some really nice Cocobolo from him.

I finally got my lathe issues figured out and got these knobs turned. they will be going on my FL State Fair entry, that has to be done by the 5th... good thing I only have about one more day of work left on it :).

Anyway I think I got 5 knobs here that are close enough to alike so that they will work for the project.

Yep, I think those will work!! Very nice, and the wood is beautiful!

[Ken Hill]

Very pretty grain in those!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Really nice grain and those should do the job for sure. Well done.

[Rick Markham]

Those are good looking Andrew! PM sent!

[David DeCristoforo]

Very nice! Love to see the piece they will be going on...

[David E Keller]

Beautiful! I'll second the notion that you should post the finished piece that these will adorn. Good luck at the fair.

[Tim Thiebaut]

Very nice, I love cocobolo!

[Andrew Gibson]

Very nice! Love to see the piece they will be going on...

Technically they are sitting on it in the pic... :P

"Technically they are sitting on it in the pic..."

Oh... of course... how could I have missed that?!?!

[Andrew Gibson]

Don't worry, as soon as I get it done I will be sure to post a few pics.

Very nice knobs. Making two of anything exactly the same is not as easy as one might think. Looking forward to the final product!

[Mark Hubl]

Those look good Andrew. I look forward to seeing them installed.

[Andrew Gibson]

As requested... Just needs a few more coats of finish and a coat of wax.

Both are very nice. Good job.

Nicely done. The knobs are a great addition to an already nice looking piece.
