Don't know if this wood was ever used in a cue...amazingly rare and so far it is the hardest wood I worked with but it was worth it.
Pau Santo (Brazilian blackheart) forearm and buttsleeve & Satinwood handle.

Better example of the beauty of African blackwood. This log is 1967 y. and motivates me to enjoy it in some nice cues one day;).

Thank you. I agree. That olive wood forearm I posted, I cored that about 7 years ago I think. Just getting ready to use it this year. Olive wood and Tulip wood take a lot of time. Even cord.

Looks like you already have a patron for that Olivewood. Would have loved to been the guy it was going to. So lovely

First, please check out my edit to Post #1 adding index to see ya'lls progress.
Next, I am really impressed with all of the beautiful cues ya'll have posted. Really impressed.
Finally, should I add "Black-Balled's Morning Wood" to the index?
