Beautiful Rich Cue - Rare Palm Wood?

[rodcar]

Thought this cue to be Zebra wood, but was told by fellow Az'er much more knowledgeable than me it is probably Palm wood. Cue is an absolute beauty. Just had the cue refinished and a buck horn ferrule installed. There is a tiny roll in the joint, tip doesn't leave the table, very minor movement. Butt and shaft both measure 28 1/2", cue is 57" assembled. Joint is snug fitting, piloted, highly polished brass with phenolic collars. SOLD, shipped

Don't think that is Black Palm.......Heres what black palm looks like. Cue looks like Zebra to me. Nice looking cue.

I don't know much about zebra wood or palm wood but that looks nothing like any zebra wood I have ever seen.

Wood

Not sure of the age of this one. Looks like the wood is 2 to 1 for Zebra, pretty sure that's it. I'm not a big fan of blue, so would probably change the wrap to match the wood better if I was going to play it. Thanks for all the input.

I would guess Zebra. Rich made a lot of cues from Zebra wood.

Rich

Wasn't sure which Rich made this cue. The consensus seems to be for Abe. Some quality vintage materials in this cue.
