I have very specific, narrow criteria for pool cues designs and cue-makers I'd want to own.
As far as brown wood points, forearms or sleeves, it's just not my taste in pool cue designs.
Strictly maple & ebony which probably sounds ho-hum to you but that's my criteria for cues.
I've only seen three (3) brown wood cues I'd ever want to own & one in particular was nutso.
Well, the population number just went from an odd number to an even number (3 to 4) since
this cue is truly dazzling. Not that it matters to anyone but this cue just became the 4th cue.

p.s. And Ed's cues play so sweet with such a solid hit and his pool cue workmanship is superb.
