  • Thuya or Amoya?

    What goes or looks best with a thick maple veneer, for a front splice, thuya or amoya burr?

    either, personal preference, mine is Tulipwood, oh sorry wasnt an option

    Out of the 2 i prefer amboyna.

      Lol, it's like asking the forum "what's your favourite colour"

      Anything goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

        i realy like bocote (mexican rose wood) with a thick maple veneer you can find some beautiful pieces but like thuya burl to especially if you can ge a piece with lots of eyes.

          I think Amboyna would go best against a thick maple veneer though it all depends on the figuring of the burr. Thuya would also go well but I think amboyna just has a more classy look to it. I have a JPU on order with a long single face of amboyna which I think will go well without a veneer, can't wait for it!!!

                      IIRC Jason Owen has cues with both types of burr and thick maple veneers on his cue guru site, or on his face book page. Not checked though, may just be Thuyas.

                              It's nice, but cue 25, for me is stunning.
                              I think it's amboyna with thick ebony & thuya veneers ( or thuya with ebony & amboyna veneers, can never remember which ).

                              Is it owned by someone on here ?
