What you splicing? Lower splices or whole cue? Ebony??
Share, share lol.
I will give it one single front splice (whatever I can cheaply get hold of) to begin with and when I am happy with that I will remove it and try four secondary splices (again whatever I can cheaply get hold of) and when I am happy with that then I will go for a complete newly spliced butt if it will take it

You guys are probably only going to see it by photo anyway so I am going to to get creative with Photoshop to hide my shocking work

A nice reddy/blacky rosewood with a maple veneer I reckon would look good.
Have you contacted the cue makers as to where they get it from and whether they sell onto you?
It is a Rosewood Butt so I am looking for something to contrast nicely with it perhaps a small piece of Birds Eye Maple or Masur Birch.
