Would you buy a cue with snakewood in it?

It needs to be stabilized.
I had a really nice laminated snake wood cue. Stunning and it didn't crack

Just make sure to pay on delivery, not up front
yes I would.
Oh baby...seriously nice cue.
I think that the combination of ebony, ivory, silver and snakewood is one of the nicest combinations that can be designed for a cue- here is a Troy Downey cue from his Gabe Owen series back about 15years ago - I believe. Ebony nose- snakewood points and butt sleeve- all ivory and silver inlays- a stunning cue that plays as well as it looks- no evidence of any cracking- it is still mint!

Here's a beauty from Eddie Cohen

That cue has a lot of snakewood in it. I wonder if that cue has cracked.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ping.
I love the look of it. Here's my wife's Diveney sneaky pete: https://imgur.com/a/FHyOWpa
It's hard to capture the beauty of the cue on camera, the camera isn't dealing well with the bright lighting. The grain looks so good in person, like you could fall into it. There is a chip that is on the finish only on the butt, wife bumped it on something in tight spaces during league.

I have a Phillippi with Snakewood points that cracked in half right at the front edge of the wrap.
I found some more information about snakewood cue construction. In 2018, Eddie Cohen introduced the snakewood cue, whose pictures I posted earlier, to azbilliards in the "Cue and Case Gallery":

In his post, Eddie Cohen described what steps he took to prevent the snakewood from cracking:

What is radial lamination? I looked more closely at the forearm, and the snakewood grain seems to suggest that the forearm is made out of strips of snakewood that run the length of the forearm. But, wouldn't the ends of those strips still be prone to checking?
