Thread: Cocobolo Soon to be Extinct??

Was just informed by a custom grip maker that the snazzy Cocobolo grips I wanted for my S&W 629 would be no longer available.
Seems the government has put Cocobolo on the endangered list.

I don't think this is extremely recent news, but it seems the repercussions are being felt now (i.e I'm not getting those Cocobolo grips, that's for sure).

Anyway, just a heads up if you think you may want a set of scales in this excellent wood anytime in the future.
