Hi all,

I hope this isnt too much of a silly question but would a pure snakewood butt need extra weighting or is it as heavy as ebony?

This cue is my new fav but looks pricey!

Good question for someone like Mike Wooldridge or Andy Travis or other cue makers.
I've heard that olive wood is heavier than ebony. Not sure obout it!

Full snakewood come out about 15 1/2 oz or the one i made did.but what a classic.

i believe snakewood is heavier and denser then ebony, is it not?

[cueless]

Good work!

I never would have thought that?

well I just checked some sites (not wiki) and snakewood can be nearly as dense as ebony. But will probably still have a small amount of additional weight.

Thanks guys, I've got so much to learn.

I'm on page 260 of this thread, so much better than Christmas telly!

It is a great thread to see the cues that have been posted and surprising how many of them reappear for sale later

I'd imagine it would be a lot lighter than ebony but most cues for snooker now are weighted anyway.

I believe snakewood (similar to rosewood) is less dense than ebony. But considering that most ebony butts have additional weights to bring up to "modern standard" I would expect this would be so with snakewood.
IIRC this cue was "not that expensive" at the time but that Aurora cues have gone up in price since the resurrection.

Very nice Dave, out of interest are you using this only for pool? and more importantly how does it play..?
