Cut some pieces and turn them round .Gorgeous as ever!
Bloodwood scares me for a core, though. I've used a fair amount for millwork. Unlike most wood i have not been able to just read the grain and know for sure which piece is going to twist and curl, and which with stay dead straight. There's a 2 x 10 x 8 or 10 ft i want to make some butts out of, but have not worked up the courage (or time).
Most of it does not float.
It smells good. (to me)

Man, I'd love to have some curly with that much figure!
Beautiful cues, Joey.
Weight, balance and hit.
Thanks.
I have one or two supreme curly maple.
What would be the difference if you reversed it?
Purpleheart forearm and butt sleeve with a maple handle?
If you got the weight and balance the same, how would the "hit" change? Harder? Softer?
Another evil eye cue.
Wrapless with bocote handle.
15.8 oz weight. Has superb bloodwood core.
Comes with two tight 3.8+ oz shafts.
This one is sold.
Great looking cue and plays even better! Thanks Joey

They're talking.Talk to me, Goose!
They're talking.
some honey stain on the curly would look really nice.
It would.
Or apply boiled linseed oil before the last final pass.
It will penetrate and bring out the curls even after the last thin pass.
Why do you boil it?
Are you trying to be funny?
It made me laugh, Joey does not boil a thing in this case.
Linseed oil has impurities from the get go, just buy Linseed oil and you will learn.
OR
Buy BLO (Boiled Linseed Oil) and the impurities are already boiled out.
I hope my half smartassed answer helped so you can LOL. It was a fair question that all Linseed Oil users must learn at some point.
