Walked into the local supplier and saw a bag in the corner and immediately picked it up. Tony, the proprietor issued some banter from across the shop about why I hadn't been in over the last couple of weeks and said that he nearly sold the bag ten times over, and we then did a very good deal on these pieces of Cocobolo. They all have some shakes in them, some minor one or two drastic. Bits range from 50mm square and smaller all 320mm long. Not back for 25 quid.
