Artist's comment: Michael called me from San Francisco and asked if I could use a piece of cocobolo he had on hand to make a Mini Halfwood. I said yes, and he sent me cocobolo and bocote woods for the box. This is the first cocobolo Mini Halfwood; it's a piece of work to use, and maybe the last one I will make.
