Thanks for the kind words, and yes the rings are white...ish, they are ivory colored. The phenoilic is not from a normal supplier, was a 3" dia. log about 4 ft long, and the canvas weave seems to almost blend in with the grainwork of the cue at times....wish I had boxes of it. The ferrule is the same material. It does break well, nice and solid. Comes in at 20.5 oz, without any weight bolt, just natural weight.
