The Beall system does beautifully on cocobolo and all the dense exotics.

Since the finish is carnauba wax, it will last as long as any other hard wax finish and can
be easily renewed.

You might want to consider using a sanding sealer or shellac before you start the Beall.

Has anyone used the Beall buffing system for cocobolo/ How long would the
shine last under very limited handling/
