Post by: antnye on August 11, 2023, 08:18:27 AM
I'm doing my yearly auction for my sons football team fundraiser. The auction is on facebook. The call is camatillo "Mexican kingwood" mammoth ivory and brass. If anyone would like to bid that doesn't have a Facebook account let me know and I can proxy bid for you.
Thanks!

Actually it's Mexican Kingwood which has the same properties as Brazilian Kingwood but has a wavy grain pattern and strong purple to reddish purple color.  That trumpet is about as good as it gets for Camatillo.

Sorry. Yes you are correct. I fixed it. I had a momentary lapse of reason typing. I know it's Mexican kingwood but have Cocobolo on the brain as I have worked with it a bunch last week.  ;D

Thanks y'all! It is an exceptional piece of wood. Was hoping to do it justice.
