Thanks! I think I'll go with the Kingwood ID. I've worked with cocobolo before, and the pieces I've used have been more dense than this, in addition to being more red/orange. This piece took a finish really well.

A very serious woodworker down the street, who was moving, had a big stash of hardwood leftovers from various projects. (Got a very nice set of golf clubs from him to - another story, however.) My grandfather taught me never to pass up a good deal on nice hardwoods, so I took all of it. My first and third sets of scales (pics of the third shortly) were from some Bubinga scraps.
