Link to more sets.

African Walnut is not related to true walnuts in the Juglans genus, but is actually more closely related to Mahogany, being in the Meliaceae family, which contains both the Swietenia and Khaya genera. Very lustrous wood that shimmers from light reflection. Just a few of these nice qs sets.

More sets here. http://rctonewoods.com/RCT_Store/african-walnut-c-1_161/

Bob, Is Bocote as prone to cracking as Ziricote? Just wondering, as they're both in the same family, Cordia.

I can second this... I've worked with both quite a bit and bocote is not anywhere near as crack prone.
