What is your number 1 wood for splices?

Cocobolo is nice but Dan's making me a cue with these two bits od Pau Rosa, so this could be the new favourite!!

Dan show us the Pau Rosa cue he made at another thread..
It's shiny and nice..
4splice would be great

I like this Golden Patterned Teak Wood, but not available at the moment

I like cocobolo and snakewood. Would like TW to make me a one piece ash, with ebony and cocobolo, similar to the ones of his posted a bit back, with maple shafts, but ash instead for the shaft.

Rosewood n Snakewood is really nice

I don't necessarily have a favourite wood, I do like burr-type.
My question is, sometime ago I saw across a snooker hall someone playing with a cue that had a splice of a bright/medium blue. I remember because I have never seen such a colour on a snooker cue.
It could have been painted but from the distance I was it did not have that look.
Any idea what the wood could have been?
Maybe Burr-of-Dulux?
All the best

Is it possible to use mango wood in a cue ?

I've got some lovely looking candle holders in this wood and the patterns are amazing.

Has anyone here got a cue with Kingwood on? I cant remember seeing a cue on here with it.

I have about 5 blocks and its lovely and wonder if anyone has a cue with it on.

[RGCirencester]

If the cues are labelled 1 to 10 from left to right, I am talking about cue number 6. What wood do you think this is, I'm pretty sure it's rosewood, but I have never seen that deep and dark a grain in the wood before - especially not at such regular intervals.

I'm thinking of ordering an Osbourne, and I really would like to get some splices like this.

An I just being an idiot, and this is indeed rosewood?
