I am about to order from robin and can not make my mind up if i should go for a Ebony butt or Rosewood butt is one wood more expensive than the other, they both look good on his website, im just wondering if anyone got one kind and afterwards wished they had got the other

Both nice i would also consider Cocobola........that looks really nice when done as a whole butt & a nice contrast against ebony if done as single or multiple splices.......Originally Posted by nightman26 View Post -
Rosewood usually cheaper.
Personal pref really.
I like a change from the plain black. You'll get more variation on rosewood. I've got macasser ebony butt myself.I don't think Robin does that anymore I looked at his site the other week and didn't see any. My cue isn't a Robin.Comment

i have a cue on order with robin which is going to be a cocobolo butt which i am really looking forward to seeing i prefer something other than ebony

Thanks for the replys i have sent Robin an email with the specs, i have decided to go with an ash shaft with rosewood butt and a facing splice of kingwood with a thick mapel veneer

Well I have one and I have ordered another one... But to buy 12 cues that is just insane

by 12 pcs he might mean ONE cue with 12 splices to be added, they can be called 12pcs...
to make it clear: THIS is would be a 16pcs cue, because there are 4 times 4 splices added (with veneers, in the picture)

Nice cue, Krypton, but unfortunately you're not right; Brother4 has ordered 12 different cues from Robin, not one cue with 12 splices.
I was speaking to Robin recently, which is why I know ...Il n'y a pas de problemes; il n'y a que des solutions qu'on n'a pas encore trouvées.
