I'm super pleased with what I've come up with your help.

Here's the actual texture statement.

It's a triple texture, and actually done more or less it's done in real
life. The base layer is the actual wood (simularting flamed maple). Next
layer is a clear-coat finish to give it color, and then a 'burst' layer on
top that is usually referred to as an 'ocean burst'. This paint makes
this thing look killer. I'm also really pleased by how real it's looking. 

 #declare top_wood = texture{
  pigment{P_WoodGrain12A color_map{M_Wood9A} scale 2.5 rotate <0,15,0>
  warp{repeat x*6.5 offset y*.25 flip <0,0,1>}
  
  
  finish{specular 1 reflection .1}
}
texture{pigment{rgbf <0,1,.1,1>}}
texture{pigment{spherical color_map{
  [0.0 rgbt <0,0,0,.3>]
  [0.5 rgbt <0,0,0,.6>]
  [0.7 rgbt <0,0,0,1>]
  [1.0 rgbt <0,0,0,1>]}

scale 8 translate <0,0,4.375>}}
