that's a nice piece of wenge
one and a half years ago, i had a terrible expierence with a cue made of wenge and maple.
since then i've avoided the stuff like the plague.
however, the wenge wood that i had didnt look anything like yours, that looks pretty good.
what's the blanks weight if i may ask.

weight
The blank is 17.3 oz.
32.5" long, 0.9" dia. to 1.34" dia.
The last cue I built with this combination was 18.0 oz.
what this one will weight in at is just a guess.

Thanks
Everyone, thanks for the comments. It means a lot. I'm working on several different
color combinations. The blue combination is pleasing to eye so that will be a keeper.
I have a bloodwood on tulipwood, and a purpleheart on purpleheart in the works. I know
purpleheart in economical, cheap, but the stuff I use seems stable and playable.
Some of the ebonies and figured maples have moved on me so I tend to cored them.
But they do look nice. I want to start a thread on the woods that are stable and
playable. My experiences are minimal with these exotic woods. I built cabinets and things with oak, walnut, maple, mahogany, ....and I've seen them move and be stable.
Right now I'm trying to build a stable playable cue so I'm testing straight grain woods at the moment. Some of the dense woods also seem to be stable.
thanks again for the feedback,
ernie
