   Beautiful box. I love Cocobolo and oil-based finishes; I don't usually use them together, though. I don't know what a neutral oil is unless you're referring to the color but as Cocobolo is true rosewood (a species of dalbergia), oil finishes won't properly cure unless the wood is sealed with shellac or other sanding sealer first. What method was used here?

   Thanks for the kind comments. I used a MinWax Wood Sheen "Natural" rubbing oil and once dried, I applied three applications of Goddard's cabinetmaker's paste wax. It's now over a year old and I don't see any signs of problems. The term "neutral" here is the same as "natural"- in that it is not adding color, only depth.

   Really nice box. Cocobolo is one of my favorite woods. It can add so much to any projects appearance. I have used teak oil for finishing Cocobolo and have had good results.
