Cocobolo Bench

This is proof we not only sell wood here, but enjoy working with it as well-
Mitch got in the mood for a little wood working and constructed this little bench out of some of our Cocobolo.
Some of you may recognize this Cocobolo slab. We had about 10 or so of them here at the shop at one point. We still have 1 or 2 in this length.
The natural edges on the slab were sand blasted to round the corners and give it a "driftwood" look and feel.


The bases are Cocobolo as well. Just half log and crotch sections we had here at the shop.
They were sand blasted as well.



Simple design and a pretty little bench as well.
If anyone is interested, Mitch is willing to sell it.
Give him a call at 760-434-3030 if it interests you or if you would like to pick up some wood to make one your self.


-Here is Mitch after a long day of woodworking- a little dirty and a little tired but happy with his cocobolo bench...

Exotic wood Fishing Lures by Tim Sebastian

Tim stopped by the shop and showed us these beauties.

The one the left is made out of a very blond and curly piece of pink Ivory.

The curly figure really makes it shine in the light which is probably why it works so well in a fishing lure.

In case your asking yourself, "sure they look pretty but do they catch fish?"

Tim said the first time he tried them out in Baja California he caught over 50 fish in the same day!

Give Tim a call at 760-630-7140 to learn more about his lures.
