Quilted and fiddleback are different types of figuring. It is dependant on the way the wood is cut. Fiddleback a.k.a curly maple, tiger maple and flame maple are pretty much used interchangeably.

Fiddleback, rippled, tiger, flame, curly...... All more or less the same sort of figure, give or take how tight the figure is.
Quilted differs in that it looks more like popcorn, with swirly, bubbly figuring to it. Not the same as above at all, no matter how you cut it.
The term "book matched" simply refers to a thick block of figured timber, which has been cut down the middle, to show the same figure on both sides. Kind of like a thick slice of marbled cake that's been sliced into two thinner slices. The figure will then appear as being the same on both sides.
Book matched section can be any type of timber.Comment

What a great position to be in , in this day and age of recessions etc . Not good for the buying public though .
Which is why this cue is a great price , if it's to your specs of course .
Glad i ordered when I did !Still trying to pot as many balls as i can !

Hi Leo,
Some people dont like Trevor's customer service because he doesnt sit by his Pc all day everyday answering emails or answering his Phone every 2 Mins which he wouldnt get any work done most days if this happend especially Nowadays he is One of the Top Cue Makers in the World if Not the Best and very sort after! i did ask him many yrs ago about this when i tried to Contact him and he told me the above and I accepted it as he was Straight and Honest!.
I have been dealing with Trevor for many many yrs when he first started and i gotta say i like his Straight Talking maybe because i am the same myself, i know alot of people dont like the truth but i do.
When you goto order a Cue from trevor he will say at the Start it will be Approx 12mths etc etc so from the start you will know roughly what time you have to wait NOT a Exact Time! if you wasnt happy waiting these times maybe you shouldnt have orderd in the first place.
As a few have mentioned you can pick up Cues on Here or eBay! yes most of them are going to be abit more expensive and some alot more expensive depending who you buy them from (WOLF)....lol... but it will save you a wait of Approx 12mths+ if you have the Cash to Pay and what you gotta remember if the Cue isnt your Specs you could always get them alterd if the Length etc is there to start with to allow alterations. I have many customers willing to Pay silling amounts for certain cues as Money is No Option to them but i know some people arent so lucky.
Gaz.
