What is you favorite wood?

[BumpnRun]

Amboyna burl or snakewood into ebony is the nuts...can't decide which I like the best.

Red Mallee Burl!! I have never seen it used in a cue but love the color and look of it!! Not sure if it is even suitable for cues but it certainly looks sweet.

Gotta love that Aussie Burl .... :grin:
