Best finish for cocobolo?

I've never had any oil finish cure properly on cocobolo. Just gets gummy.

Frankly, there's no point to trying, either. It's oily stuff to begin with, and very stable. I just wax it every once in a while with a good paste wax, and that keeps it looking nice. One of my regular carry utility knives has a cocobolo handle, and it's been beaten pretty hard with no real ill effect...
