Not familiar with Pau Ferro but worked with Cocobolo quite a bit. The CB is soft, well actually it's maddenly uneven, from medium to very soft.
So your saying the stripes on that drum might have more purpose than just visual appeal. I suppose the type of finish, say, Wax vs Danish Oil vs Polyurethane would affect it too. I wonder how close they can predict or it's all trial and error.
