YELLOW Pool Cues

I'll try again

Now that I can upload pictures again, I thought I'd post the Canarywood cue that I mentioned earlier.

That is BEAUTIFUL!! I also really appreciate the buttefly design, when it has yellows in it, especially if it has nice contrasting woods.

Any other yellow, you guys? I'm glad I started this thread. I like seeing the different ways yellow is being used in pool cues. I'm thinking I might order me a Crown Cue with either Osage Orange or Figured Yellowheart and some Fancy Cocobolo. I think that would look sharp!

Here is a Brazilian Satinwood cue with Black/yellow speck wrap. I call it the Yellow Jacket. Made by friend of mine Jeff Bell. The Pics are correct size so inlays look distorted but you get the idea.

The wood is piquia amarelo and it just gets a deeper yellow as time passes.

WOWWWWW!!!!! THAT is a BEAUTIFUL yellow!!! And you say it gets deeper yellow as time passes? Does sunlight affect it?
 
I have used the same cue for 8 years and I have an unlimited choice of cues to use so I have to say it really plays well. It's not an easy wood to find but it is the truest yellow wood I know of. It is almost twice as dense as maple, dries very slowly, and glues well.

As far as sunlight affecting the wood I don't think so. I've had pieces of piquia out in my shop in south Florida for several years and it is the same color as the pieces that are in my wood storage room which is very dark. It it not like osage orange or purpleheart which get brown.
 
Paul,
Beautiful ---------- and thanks for sharing. You always do:) I have never seen that wood. Is it one of the exotics or a native American species?
 
Jack,

Brazil and occasionally Bolivia are sources for this wood but it isn't all that common. If you do get some, let it season for a few years as it is a very slow drying wood.
 
Here is a yellow veneer traditional cue... maker to be unnamed.. :)

There was an early Meucci catalog cue that had yellow points. Not the veneers, the points. I gotta admit, I really liked it. I remember it after all these years.

Probably around 1978-80.
