My New Mike Wooldridge VCM
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

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.

Might also be aged Rosewood, Redwood, and of course Purpleheart. Used to do, and are doing a few now in 12-splice design, several cues with Redwood that look similar to this splice. Nice looking Cue

Just got my hornbeam cue back from Tony Glover. Had him look at one of the butt splices and take down the ferrule to 8.5mm. Done a very nice job
