could be camera issue maybe , but has been on and off ebay for a while now and tort it would have gone by now , cos if it had been 10mm i would have had it , it looks genuine to me and looks amazing too

[tofushop193]

wonder is there anything wrong with it that it could not sell. but if you notice the other trevor white had the W crossed like the pic attached. it looks good. i am considering of buying it and is now discussing with the seller for overseas postage and just making sure.

not sure tbh as not asked anything about it , but i have sent the pics to friends of mine of this and they are very experienced in the field and no one has said anything wrong about it , the pic you sent with the W crossed , im sure someone mentioned something like it not long ago , but just got my TW cue out and mine is 100% genuine and the W isnt crossed ?

[tofushop193]

i see. could be an old badge or something. was browsing a lot more other TW cues on the web. Saw some with the similar W but they are the older cues.

It doesn't crack because its weaker. If it develops a crack its due to moisture loss. It is a very dense wood originating from a place of high humidity therefore it takes an age to dry. If you dry it too quickly it will also crack.

So it's weaker compared to other woods with moisture loss

So plenty off oil then may help in keeping it crack/splitt free ? , i may do some deeper research in preventing and feeding the snake lol
