This got ripped down and turned round three years ago. Has stayed very straight hanging out in Pete's humidity and temperature controlled wood room. Any good ideas what to do with it? Thanks...Matt D.

Send it to a higher tier maker. That wood would be worth a fair penny in a higher end cue.

Thank you for your input sir. With all due respect...it will be done at Pete's shop. His work is great, and it will not be ever for sale. It's a keeper. And will be a player too. He is a great builder and top tier friend...which surpasses any monetary value. Again, thank you all for the input and ideas...this will become a wonderful, segmented handle wrapless. Will definately post again when it's done. Regards....Matt D.

I think ebony goes so beautifully with amboyna.

Love the idea of wrapless 3x segmented handle . . . but what's your prefernce?

1.Amboyna forearm and butt with ebony handle

or

2. ebony forearm and butt with amboyna handle

I like option 2 . . . my 2 cents

Good luck and keep us posted with pics.

I completely understand. How long is this piece?

Thanks first to ideologist for your understanding and input. I respect your opinions. The piece is long enough for two, 3 piece handle sections. Will post progress pics soon. At least one will be ebony front and butt sleave. Thank you for the help...away we go. Matt D. By the way, the ringwork in your avatar is the dead nuts.

Alternate length points in ebony with re-cut maple. Have it on my pearl and love the look really brings the amboyna out too.
