These Cocobolo blanks are freshly rounded. Note the large color variation in the sticks. Most Cocobolo falls within this range but there are some boards that exhibit a very bright orange/yellow color. All Cocobolo will oxidize, on the surface, to a deep brown after being exposed to air and UV light.
The large white spot on one of the sticks is sapwood. Cocobolo sapwood does not have the same resinous properties as the heartwood but can be improved by acrylic stabilization.
