I am going to try replacing the connection, or drilling it. Worse case I can use it on my little stealth gripper I take out with me. I won't know till I see it. For the price I figured it was worth a shot.
here is a good resource on this
Sunday morning learning:
I was searching for Cocobolo with both the reddish color with the creamy white. Just looking for any specific information. I had heard it was Mexican Cocobolo.
Found out the white/tan color was called sapwood. That lead to a little more research!
I have a few bookmarks of sites that give really good information on woods.
This is what I learned, from HERE:
HOW WOOD GROWS
At the very center is the pith. In some trees, this is much softer and possibly a different color than the surrounding heartwood. Heartwood is made up of dead cells that no longer serve any purpose except to support the tree. Next is the sapwood, which carries water, minerals, and plant sugars between the roots and the leaves. This is often lighter in color than the heartwood. Outside the sapwood, close to the surface, is the cambium, a thin layer of living cells. These cells manufacture the wood as they grow. The cambium is covered by a protective layer of bark. The cambium grows rapidly at the beginning of each growing season, creating light colored springwood. As the climate warms, it slows down and produces darker summerwood. This later growth is somewhat denser and harder than the early springwood. As the weather turns cold, the cambium becomes dormant until the next spring. This cycle produces distinctive growth rings.
Just thought I would share! I love learning about the woods! I have a Woodvil coming made of Cocobolo (heartwood & sapwood).

My "Woodvil of Distinction" on the way!!
Will be stalking the mailman!!!
Home pictures to follow upon arrival.
The "Big Kahuna" wil be joining the family of minis.
Sorry I might be reading that wrong, did you a mini with 14500 batteries or an 18490 Woodvil?
