Help identifying this wood?

Zebra Wood, it's in wiki and is common on the cues mass produced in HK/China, butt is rosewood with a standard veneer in between, very similar to one I bought my nephew for xmas, some of the splices are dead ringers for yours.

A few of the pool lads have cues similar, a couple are zebrano but not sure this is, I think it could well be maccassar, cheers for your input

More than likely painted on it ! I would imagine.

Definitely not painted mate. They're genuine splices, I've seen quite a few of these cues with different splices and although laquer finished are decent quality for the money.

Thanks for all the opinions and input lads

They call it Vietnam Dalbergia apparently... I ordered a cue just like this one, and although the black (ebony) is painted on, the "Vietnam Dalbergia" is not painted on.
