Here are a set of cues I have almost finished for a fireman in Massachusetts.
The forearms and butt sleeves are Swirly Brazilian Rosewood and the handles
are regular Brazilian Rosewood. In the sunlight the colors are magnificent.
Rosewood is one of my favorite woods to work with and I try to stock at least 18 varieties including the very, very rare Cochinchin burl (not to be confused with Cochin) which I also stock. I only have one piece and it is the only piece of Cochinchin Rosewood, in pool cue size, that I have ever seen.
Anyway, thanks for looking. Bob
