  • wood query



    Came across that beauty a while ago, was sold by ADR147. And I'm still trying to figure out which wood has been used for the front splice!

    Has someone got a clue?
    thanks!

    That's almost an identical cue as my MW. Looks like cocobola to me.

      Hmm the 'tortuous' grain could fit indeed but but isn't cocobola supposidely a bit more reddish....this one is more brown than red to me (looks similar to the floor). But photo color can be misleading also.

        I'm probably wrong but my MW has an almost identical look. Even the single green veneer. Stunning looking cue mate. Hope someone can clarify exactly what wood it is,

          Yeah I truly fell in love with the design from the second I saw it. Gorgeous cue and even better looking in the flesh according to Andy. I might opt to get a similar cue hence the curiosity about the wood

            It may be Walnut. Whatever it is, it is pretty!

                          Looks nice, thought it was Mexican Rosewood at first. Bubinga is a nice wood.
