Coos Cues
So we just finished a cue and the wood looks amazing. However it's not a matter of if the wood will oxidize and settle in but when.
Has anyone received any critical blowback down the road when the wood in their cues does what wood does? When that beautiful straw colored bocote turns to chocolate? When the purple turns to black in that nice cocobolo?
We can do all we can think of but only delay the inevitable so how should we handle it? Should we tell the owner of our cues what is going to happen? Since we can no more stop this from happening then we can stop ourselves from aging.
Folks who don't understand this about wood could become unreasonably disappointed down the road. When one day they wake up and look at their cue and realize it's not the same as when they got it. Should we take pre emptive measures or just let it be?
Thanks for your thoughts on this,
