fyi, there is no such wood as Boris de Rose. It's Bois de Rose, a rosewood from Madagascar and is a highly underrated, rare wood. One of the best and most rare woods in existence.
gutshot thanks for correction. i thought it was Bois de Rose, but went by Joel's letter. his spelling. this is a simple beautiful fullsplice. looks like a new cue, even shafts look like new.
