I posted this already in the "cue gallery" section... sorry for crossposting, but I wanted to have some expert opinions as well.
...
It struck me a few years ago. Birdseye maple is a good example of a wood that doesn't necessarily look good in artificial light. Especially if there aren't many "eyes". I have a recently acquired a Bear cue, which doesn't have many eyes, but to my amazement I was looking at the cue at my apartment one day and suddenly I realized the cue looks much better in daylight ! I don't know about you people, but my cue rarely sees daylight. I'm working and studying from "9-to-5" and I play only in the evenings. When I'm outside, the cue is always in the case, when I take it out, it's always inside in some dark pool room without natural light.
I bet there are many people who have rarely seen their cues in natural light. If you want to marvel the natural beauty of different woods, take a minute to look at them closer in natural light !
Just my two cents here...
...
If someone visits your shop to buy a cue, do you usually let him see the whole beauty in natural daylight ? And are there woods that don't look particularly good in broad daylight ?
Just curious
