A ebony butt is not wholly black

[vanskkn]

I received my new cue yesterday, but I found that one of the splices is not wholly black. It has a brown line in the butt.


I want to ask that is it normal? Does anyone have a same problem in your cue?

[ste bed]

nothing wrong with that its just the way that piece of wood is some are black some like yours have streaks and blemishes in them i for 1 like when cues have marks on them like this give them individuality.what make of cue is it ?

[ADR147]

ebony is a natural product colours are not always perfect.

[vanskkn]

But the cue's outlook seems not good.

[ADR147]

better than having it dyed but you can do that if required - who's cue is it?

[vanskkn]

I also think that the brown line is too sharp, too obvious. It is not common.

who's cue is it?

The cue is made by Trevor White.

[ADR147]

its very common and becoming more so - jet black ebony is now very very hard to find and expensive when you do.

The cue is made by Trevor White.

it would be possible to change the splice but persoanlyy i would leave it it gives it character!

To be honest if i pay over 200 quid for this cue i will expect materials to be of higher quality than this. If around 100 quid, i won't bother about it.

[ADR147]

i suspect it cost more than £100 - there is nothing wrong with the materials !!

[ADR147]

the thing to do is e-mail trevor if you are not happy i am 100% sure he will do his best to help you.

if you payed alot for it and you are not happy i would return it or get it fixed if possible.

This mark or streak is like a passport for your cue, its what makes your cue different from everyone elses 3/4 TW cue.
