Cobra - Purple Heart
Another Lois Ventura design. The wood is purple heart, one of my favorites.
To inhibit the eventual color change to brown, I used Teak Oil (seven coats) which contains added UV filters for protection against fading from sunlight. Then it was waxed using the Beall Buffing System.
