Any of you knowledgeable cue guys able to enlighten me as to what wood is used in the Lewis & Wilson front face splice? The pic doesn't show the colouring as well but its a very dark purple colour. My obvious first thought would be purpleheart but having never seen a cue with that splice, I've got nothing to compare with.

Mike's work always the best!

Got this random piece of wood delivered to my house last week. Placed the order with Mike Wooldridge's VCM back in early February.

Specs
Length: 58in
Weight: 19.5oz
Butt Diameter: 29mm
Tip: 9.25mm
Joint: one piece, F1 extension & blackspin ferrule
Wood: ash shaft, ebony butt, white maple veneer, olivewood upper splice, black ebony veneer, cocobolo lower splice

The cue was made exactly according to my specifications -- not a single thing to complain about.

Pics attached here, and more available right here: http://s1278.photobucket.com/user/gu.../Wooldridge_9b

That's beautiful.

It's definitely not off. It's due to the light and angle at which I took the pic.

[MikeWooldridge]

It might just be the light, or the grain of the wood but does the badge look off in that Wooldridge cue?

and they say camera never lies...

see last pic. gives a clearer indication.

WoW Jim, what a collection, are you a collector or running a cue sell room? I am currently looking for a 1 piece cue, could you give me some advice? I am not after some fancy designed butt, I am looking for a cue with a good quality shaft, which cue maker will you recommend? Thx

hi mate its mainly a collection lol,there are a few that i would sell email me with the specs and your budget to james.evans1950@talktalk.net

[crispian jones]

this is an old cue that ive seen before, i actualy have the picture on my pc, not an expert myself but i thought it was
jerusalem olivewood ?

[The Doctor]

Yes it's African olivewood. There are a few different types.

[klx-inc]

Of course, it could well be Olivewood. I've not really worked with those two particular woods personally.
