yes ebony and rosewood are generally the most common and costly. as far as the woods im using and will be using, they are carefully chosen and collected over quite a long time, long before i thought of making a cue.
i am looking for a overall look for my first swatch of cues, as well as all of them to be able to perform on the table

I'm guessing a lot of cue makers avoid this by simply filling any grain?
iv found that no one does things the same way in getting what they want from the wood they useLast edited by j6uk; 4 February 2015, 07:03 PM.
