I recently purchased about a pick up truck load of rough cut (band saw) Costa Rican coco bolo. Can someone refer me to someone in the Central Florida area that could tell me what I have. A good portion of the wood is highly figured. The boards range from approximately 1 1/2" - 2" thick, 10" wide and about 6'-7' long. It looks like some nice material for handgun stocks. I plan on putting it on GunBroker as soon as I get an idea about the grading and sizing the blanks. This wood has been stored in a barn for at least 12 years that I know of. Thanks

EDIT: Thanks for the ideas. I am going to go through the wood to separate into various sizes, figure, etc. And, list it here piece by piece.

  Robin,
  
  As an aside to your thought about being used for handgun blanks, there are other uses for dimensional stock such as you purchased.
