                With an oil finish it will stay darker, but it could be refreshed to lightend The figure.

                  It will lighten with age, even with the oil finish.

                    • never got a chance to review this cue (57/11/29/19bp/18oz no weight added) but here is an email i just open today:


                      Hi Jason,

                      My cue arrived only Monday, so had a chance to try it last Friday.
                      Its a very good cue. I would rate it 9 out of 10:
                      Build 9/10
                      Finish 9.5/10 (would be 10 if not my fast shipping and as a result cue butt end's not fully settled oil was a bit soaked/brushed tube's inner soft inlay)
                      Playability 9.5/10
                      Im not yet fully sure about its total weight but heavy forward balance helps so tremendously to control those heavy am.pool balls. So heavier cue front is a tremendous plus and am thinking i might get away with its natural weight.
                      Am also not used to so low tip as i use max height tips so cue hit feels extreem hard hitter. But its damn precise this way.. Its just a bit different feeling to get used to.

                      So those are my first impressions

                      Ro.....s
                      ........................

                      Sounds like your getting on with it straight out of the tube, good to hear..
                      I didn't get a chance to review it but, you have. If you don't mind i could cut and paste this email as a review? Otherwise you could leave a post on j6cues on tsf? No problem if you would rather not, just that its solid positive feedback.

                      Cheers
                      Jason
                      ......................

                      You can post this no problemo.
                      Looking forward to play with it more and hope to avoid the metal
                      Thanks for great cue!

                      Ro.....s

                      • my new long wooden bench plane that i used to cut the last two butterfly cues splices with, the results tell me i should stick with it. and a few old e j riely shafts i will be restoring over the coming weeks.. Whoever had this plane before certainly knew how to sharpen their irons.

                              Them or planes are great to use and only quick blade adjustment is why some of the new ones are easier and can't beat the steel on the old blade's

                                Must be an awful lot lighter and easier on the shoulder muscle too. My 18 inch long bed plane weighs a ton after an hour, something Newton didn't mention in his gravitation theory, the longer you hold something, the further you carry something the heavier it gets
                                Speak up, you've got to speak up against the madness, you've got speak your mind if you dare
                                but don't try to get yourself elected, for if you do you'll have to cut your hair
