Cocobolo varies a great deal - depending on what part of the tree it was taken from and where it was grown, the color varies from a sort of mottled brown to a deep red with black stripes. An example of what I'm going for is below:
Assuming I can find some appropriate cocobolo, how can I finish it so that the color won't quickly fade? I've heard that UV-resistant lacquers of the type intended for boats work well, and that a little red tint isn't a bad idea.
