Thinking about a new build and the idea of dark and light coco keeps floating around my mind. Anyone have any pics of a two tone cocobolo riser that's all cocobolo?
Here's one I made, the riser is both cocobolo and bocote, but on the cocobolo part you can see the upper fade has some sap wood showing.

Yeah that's what I'm talking about
I made some knife handles with coco mixed SAP and heart. Looks great. There didn't seem to be any noticeable difference in the strength or hardness.
Here is a link to thread of a Javaman Assyrian I own, awesome Cocobolo
