Interesting to note that not one of the woods I specifically inquired about were mention and that much of the focus seemed to be on the handle instead of the forearm & butt where I was thinking of using the mentioned woods. LOL

I appreciate the replies anyway, however.

Again, the decision was made to go with Quilted Narra for the forearm & butt section, with an Olivewood Burl for the handle, joint collars & butt cap. I suspect (hope, really) that the combination will be as beautiful as I think it will be. I've never really seen finished Quilted Narra (certainly not in a pool cue) though. This should be interesting.

I have something in mind almost similar like that. but mine would be an italian olivewood burl on the butt and sleeve. I'm going to pair it with a malaysian rosewood burl forearm.

I wasn't kidding, I wanted him to improve

It wasn't literal.... he'd chalk it like a complete banger, and basically wear out the entire middle of the ferrule with the chalk. Almost like he ate it! hahaha

ha, full circle, actually the TD that went home because Mike Wong was taking so long was Jose Burgos, who was one of the refs now at the bigfoot.

The cue was left in a case for a very long time by the previous owner. The results is ink tranfer into the white material.
Fred maybe able to sand away the stained material, don't know for a while as it is in his backlog. I don't know what is the
white material my guess is micarta.

Thank you.

Oh man, I was at the DCC one year maybe 2012 or so, and Mike Wong was playing Efren cheap one pocket games (even), like 20 or 40 a game. Efren loses the first game and quits him. He couldn't take how slow he was. I saw it with my own eyes. I was cracking up.

that would lead to believe the table wasnt breaking well for dennis.

The break is a deceiving predictor for the pros. In last year's Reyes Cup, overall, the breaker only won 48% of those racks. The losing team only won 37% of the games they broke.

Apparently (my theory), losing control over a rack when you break dry or foul, outweighs the times you take control over the rack and/or runout.

Lmao back in the day when we were trying to sponsor Mike Wong to the US Open good times good times.

WHAT? I don't remember that? That was the guy that ate his ferrule with the chalk, right? I think he was local to me in the early 2000's in the Philly area (or at least came to the Open events there). He took like 10 min per shot. He was in the finals vs Eddie Abraham in a regional event at my local room in Philly, and the TD went home and left the money because he was taking so long. hahaha. How the f was he a candidate for sponsorship? hahaha
