I got some wood from Al here a while back (probably over a year ago), thinking I was going to tough through the oily wood, and my arms breaking out from using it.
Well, I made a couple calls out of bocote and cocobolo, and its just not my bag.
I notice there's a lot of folks on here that like using these woods, so I thought I'd check to see if someone was up for a trade.
I have 10 chunks of 1.5 by 1.5 by 4" and I think almost all of them are bocote, or maybe an orangish cocobolo.
Then, I have a 2" by 2" by 12" chunk of dark red cocobolo.
What have you got for trade? I'm not sure what I would be interested in, but I can tell you what I have. I have lots of cherry, black and english walnut, ash, oak, colorwood, cedar, poplar, cypress, zabrawood and tulipwood.
I'd like to get something in return that's hard to where I can use it for duck calls, and hopefully a 2" chunk of something I can use for goose calls.
There's my thoughts. Let me know what yours are if you're interested. They're also available for trade for money too I guess, but you'd have to pay for the actual shipping, which I suppose would be flat-rate Priority.

These two center duck calls were made out of this same batch of wood:
