Guess the wood in this old Brunswick cue

[Lawnboy77]

That’s amazing how time changed the color of that PH. I would of never guessed that one.

That process is most likely oxidation

Having no idea, I asked around:

Macbeth suggested it might be Birnam Wood
Robin Hood suggested it might be Sher Wood
Robert Wagner suggested it might be Natalie Wood

Natalie was the only wood that did not float.

If it hasn't been said already sapelle

It doesn't really apply here since the OP already knew what wood he had, but for future reference this is the best wood identification site I am aware of next time somebody needs to figure out what wood they have. Once you look around a bit you will see why.

Thanks for all the replies.

Fun thread. I have way too many vintage cues, many have Purpleheart and have turned dark brown with time. Now I am second guessing what I thought I knew.

In my collection, I have a one piece Titlist that I believe to be Kingwood. I wish I could tell for sure. Brownheart was used for many cues and I used to considerate a "boring wood", Now I really love the look of it.

And I’m pretty sure that’s Sumorya.

My 1st custom cue was a Ray Schuler made with purpleheart.
Ray said he liked using that wood.

Spalting Maple!

How about Birch?

Winner gets nothing, well ok, you get an Atta Boy. This one had a wrap since new, I will show the pics with the wrap removed, it's a stunning difference. (Not the Maple above the points, just what surrounds the label and runs to the veneers.)

Smile, it's a wonderful Sunday.
