Possibly I just particularly like a single thin veneer. Imo two thins or one thick are the way to go, as it accents the wood nicely for little extra work or cost.
I tend to like cues without veneers more but this is a nice combination. Four veneers and splices next up?

Not sure what will be next, but I have a few ideas knocking around. Including 4 secondary palm wood with veneers, and a snakewood blockwork splice with thick green veneer. However it could be a little way off as I have to submit my thesis at the beginning of september which I haven't starting writing yet.
Thought I'd stick some pictures of this up. Finished cue No.002 yesterday. This one wasn't made for anyone in particular so is up for grabs. If anyone is interested, pm me and we'll sort something out
Specs:
One piece, oil finish with an absolute cracker of a shaft
Stiff flex with three great even arrows towards the ferrule, blank belly for super-smooth cueing
19" ebony butt with front splice of amboyna burl highlighted with red and curly maple veneers
58" long
9.5mm tip, 29.5mm butt
17.4 oz
After numerous people asked about a butt joint being fitted, I have now added one and re-listed it on ebay.
The next shaft is planed and ready to be spliced. The current plan is to do a full amboyna butt with green veneers. What do you think? Or any design suggestions? Cheers
