Sam, several cuemakers make them. I've noticed when I build a shaft, if it has a few eyes it really seems to hit stiffer with better tone. I don't mind a few..as in 2 or 3. I would in no way want to play with a shaft with lots of eyes as do some that I've seen. Way too distracting for me. Much like curly shafts...they hit & play superb. Yet they seem to catch my eye when stroking. For myself, I prefer a nice honey colored light brown shaft.
Also I still need to dig up that VHS for you to see. :smile:

Thanks for the reply Kevin. i'm still looking forward to seeing that video (no rush)

i've heard that birdseyes were a result of a disease in the wood (like scars) and because of that the wood was softer? i thought that's why highly figured birdseye forearms were cored with straight grain maple?

anyone else have an opinion? i think i might just post this in the "ask the cuemaker" forum
