I am thinking about getting a shaft made from birdseye maple. Anybody done this?
Comments appreciated. Thanks.

Not gonna work.
Figured woods, much less highly figured wood like a Bird's eye maple is cantankerous to work with.
It tends to be brittle and just is not suitable for that application.
Fine straight grained woods are the ticket

Try curly maple,,,I've been told it's inherently weak,,,BUT I have a Meucci with 2 shafts and the curly maple shaft IMHO shoots way better than the other,,,have several other inexpensive cues with curly maple shafts,,,they all shoot super,,,,maybe I just like to go against the 'grain' <joke>,,,,,,,,,,,jflan
