Just for looks. I'm a sucker for BEM. Curly maple is here no problem with local cue makers, but BEM is a premium. Maybe it's supply and demand, and I'm lusting over forbidden fruit?
If you ever get tired of BEM or Curly Maple, there is always Quilted Maple and Maple Burl.
BEM loaded with bird's eyes can be beautiful, but you will pay for an extremely figured piece.

Now that you mention quilted maple, my new cue looks look a mild combination of curly quilted and BEM. Mostly Birds Eye. Have you seen anything like that?
