Wow! I've never had a cue w/ leopard. Really cool looking piece. Shouldn't last long.
 
Leopardwood

Joe,
What you are calling leopard wood is also more commonly known as Australian Lace wood. It has tremendous figure on 2 sides, 180 degrees apart.

Also called Silky Oak. I have a shaft made of Silk Oak. It's very light wood, but has very good strenght. This one should be cored.

Very nice cue by the way Joe.

WRONG. Completely different wood - even different genus!

Lacewood = YES
Silky Oak - NO.

Trust me....

Jeff makes a great playing, very consistent quality cue. Absolutely top notch craftsmanship.

It's leopardwood!

I have a similar cue to this one and according to Jeff Olney this is leopardwood which is stronger than lace wood.
It came from this block:

But like Joe Says it's not about the wood, it's the cue that matters and if this one hits like mine, whoever buys it will be very happy.
Good luck with the sale Joe.
