One thing to remember about coco is, not only is it heavy, but it is also very strong. More so than a lot of woods. So it can be made a bit thinner to make up for the weight.

Yeah, I thinned my Grant Coco pretty good - .090" back and .085 sides - Very slinky indeed!

Okay Z, we innovate and adapt to fit our situation. I thought from the photo you had some new hi-tech, swing-out from under the table radius dish. I wanted one! :D
