Some cocobolo I have seen are truly amazing with very extraordinary grains and figures; the tone of the wood is so orangnish that it looks almost glowing.
I persoanlly believe curly maple and cocobolo look better with a nice layer of varnish than a matte finish. The finish just brings out a new dimension--the wood appears to have more depth under the light.

Is it denser than Snakewood? Does anyone know which exotic woods used in cue-making are the least dense and which are the most dense? I'm after an 18oz cue, but am told that having 4 splices in a dense wood would shift the weight above that target, which is not suitable for me. Thanks in advance...

Cocobolo is one of the densest woods you can get, and also one of a few woods that will sink in water. Cocobolo and Ebony have about the same density, whereas woods like maple and tulipwood have a lower density. Google wood densities and you will find a few charts that explains in more depth.
