This traditional steel joint cue is fresh out of my shop. It has 4 veneered East Indian Rosewood points with black, red, blue, and natural veneers. The butt sleeve is also EIR with a MP Ivory Hoppe ring. I tried this cue out and I guess I got lucky again. It has that super crisp hit that resembles everything I got into cue making for in the first place. EIR is great and has got to be one of my favorite woods. I got a Balabushka-esque cue I'm working on, and instead of ebony, I'm using this same wood. Will post soon. Thanks for looking.

Beautiful work sir. I`ve seen a few cues with the East Indian Rosewood used in them.
I`m really liking this wood everytime I see it used. Please keep us updated with more pics & keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing.

Really nice work! You absolutely nailed the traditional style and feel on this cue. I think the butt cap is a nice touch as well. Keep up the excellent work.
 
Very nice - EIR is a great tone wood. Been used for backs & sides on acoustic guitars for decades. In the 4th pic down, I love the way the veneer colors show a prismatic effect!
 
Yes sir, that's right. I was going to put double black on there, but decided that I just wanted a flowing look down the bottom. I've seen McWorter and Kikel do that and I think it looks awesome. I am grateful to them for inspiration.

Very nice work! Question, looks to be a EI wood buttcap. Is that so?
