Over the years I have collected a fair bit from various sources, but since I am not home, can't help you much .
Best regular source is here https://www.cookwoods.com/ although sometimes not cheap when you consider postage costs these days. Cocobolo is one of those timbers that everyone is allergic too, it is just a matter of time before you get a reaction, so make sure you take precautions.Neil____________________________________________Every day presents an opportunity to learn something new

Mitch Talcove generally has the best Cocobolo (D. retusa and D. granadillo) supply of anyone on this giant oblate spheroid we live on. http://www.tehwoods.com/Cocobolo
If you order a container load, ask him to throw some Libidibia sclerocarpa into the container for the rest of us.

China, you may be lucky to get some in as it is now a CITES listed timber and last time I looked it had a $69 permit to import fee on it.
