 |  Im making sawdust again. Its been a while since I last posted & I am back making sawdust. Here are the last two creatations. Note: Two days after I made the box, my $99 saw died - SO I am in the market for a new saw! The cross is Bocote - I love this wood! The box is a White Pine for the sides, BB ply for the base and the top is African Padouk. By far the box was harder to make than the cross. Bill

| Nice work, Bill. That cross looks good made from the Bocote. It is a nice wood .. I looked at some of that last time I was in the lumber merchants here - then I looked at the price! It's almost $30 per board foot here ..

| Beautiful work. I'm glad you are back at it. Bocote? I surely have never heard of that. Is that the only name for it or is called by another name? Scott |

| According to this site - http://tropicalhardwoods.com/htm/tro...ods/bocote.htm - it's also called cordia, light American cordia and freijo, but I've never seen in called anything other tha bocote in either of the two places you can buy it round here.

| Great work on those two projects. I love using bocote because of its beautifull grain. It is too expensive for me to make big things like you did with the cross but I get some small quantities just for lathe turned pens. Here is an example of it in one of my fountain pens shown open and closed. W.Y.

| Great work Bill. I love that Bocote as well! Nice FP W.Y. What kit is that? And I'm sure it is just the photograph, but the top looks "proud" of the centerband.

| I like your user name  I love Bacote too, but up here in Washington, it's very expensive. I can afford it for pens and the like that I turn, but for a scroll project of any size, it's out of the question. |
