maybe you should mention where you are located. there are a few cue makers in Charlotte. I believe Gulyassy is in Greenville SC. I think he would be a better choice.
Maybe it is recon ivory like McDermott uses. I had a Bridgeport model that was expensive and believed it was ivory inlays only to find out some time later it was not solid pieces of ivory, but recon ivory, which I believe means reconstructed ivory.
