It's a beautiful hardwood and I saw that it's listed as endangered which would be why I have never seen it. I only buy from commercial sellers so I wouldn't have come across it. I am sure shipping from here to Denmark would be as expensive as buying from a shop in Denmark.
That link is very helpful, I wasn't aware that cocobolo was strictly regulated, but I know a guy in California that had hundreds if not thousands of board feet of it from the 1960s and he is a supplier to many stores, he has several old hoards of different types of wood. I went to his warehouse once in 2004 and he sold wood whenever he needed money. He also had many Medieval artifacts from all over Europe which is why I went there to deliver a 15th century lamp stand I had repaired. He had several swords and battle axes, quite impressive.
