Is Robert Osborne Right?

A very nice collection there Arbitrage. I guess you like Tony Wilshaw cues, judging by the 5 that you have! Also clearly a fan of green veneers too.
What is the face splice on the Keith Auld cue? Its too pink (and looks too plain) to be tulipwood, and too dark to be olivewood. If I had to guess, I'd say probably Steamed Pearwood, but I remember reading his site and he uses a lot of obscure woods for splices other cue makes don't, such as yew.

P.s, if at the end of the comment of Jason's (after where it says splice) you type [/QUOTE] it will correct it to a proper quote bubble.

dean, they are not my cues - i posted this because people are selling jason's cues in HK / china now - following on from the points i made earlier about there being a booming market in HK / china - sorry for the misunderstanding.
