It seems to me that CITES regulations have had an impact on the use of ABW. The last flutes I purchased from overseas were mopane, which seems like a good option and allowed me to bypass CITES regulations, yet I am not seeing it mentioned here except in passing. Any thoughts on mopane?

There was a thread on this subject (appropriately called mopane vs. african blackwood). Here is the link: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=107143&hilit=blackwood+and+mopane
