    Thanks for the info Dean H, Trevor truly is a master craftsman and has a finish that is as smooth as glass so thanks again Trevor. JRC750 Specs are as follows Amboyna burr cue is length 57.5", weight 17.8oz, ferrule 9.7mm, butt diameter 29.5mm, 17" balance point
    Thuya burr cue is length 57.5, weight 18.0oz, ferrule 9.5mm, butt diameter 29.5mm, 17" balance point
    They are both absolutely lovely cues and its gonna be hard to choose 1 to keep as my playing cue but from my 1st impressions I personally prefer the look of the amboyna burr cue as the burr just looks amazing and the chevrons are exactly how I like them but from playing with them today I am swaying towards the Thuya burr as it feels better to me even though I can't explain why, its just like the shaft feels heavier somehow which I prefer
    Here are a couple of pics (taken poorly with my phone) of their new home, a beautiful stamford blue patchwork leather case:

    rob s, lovely pair you have there
    just a side note, TW has mentioned elsewhere that the thick veneers he does are not made with "veneer" at all but with stock. Where a veneer is a purchased strip of wood at about 1mm thick and several glued together to make the thickness but stock is a block of wood planed. In my opinion (as a non-cuemaker) a more difficult and skilled method.

    Hi Neil, since getting my cue back from Trevor, I've perhaps played about 4-5 times. Not much considering I got the cue back late last year. I've got some time in July so I might pop down to Frames and enter the snooker comps.

    Yeah, really great piece of cocobolo! And really smooth shaft with nice dark grain! As usually, pictures don't do it justice...
