Any guesses on what kind of wood are on these full splice blanks?

Duc, I would say wenge, maybe zircote.

As above, wenge. Very nice.

Duc whatever they are, they are going to be sweet conversions for sure.
Thanks for sharing.

95% sure its Wenge. Great stable wood, but very porous.

On the wrapless Rieper blank, it most likely wenge but on the titlist is most likely some kind of dense rosewood/ebony. The titlist hoppe butt end is 21oz by itself...so I thought it would be ebony.

Here's an updated on how both of these conversion turn out. Will need to get better pics. I'm really happy with how the 1930 Rieper Full splice turn out. Plain and simple but just very classy.

wenge for both,.... at least on the butts. points, it's harder to judge by the photos, but the butt sleeves are definatly wenge, IMO.

So the Willie Hoppe ended up without a wrap?

Yes, I like these to be wrap less as they are full splice. Check out the better images of these cues.
Just finished adding the phenolic bumper to this 1930 full splice to give it a harder hit.

What do you think it is?
Any idea what wood is on the old titlist?

Thanks,
Duc.
