Help id shaft wood

[desi2960]

This unfinished shaft was included with some old brunswick cues i bought. I thought is was maple until i sanded the grunge off, and put a sealer on.
Any ideas ????

Could you make the pictures just a little bit larger please. I can't hardly make it out.




looks like ramon

 

[desi2960]

No

It is not ramon, it also is not ramin.
Photos have to be large enough to see the grain.

It's an albino revo.
Sorry, couldn't resist. :grin-square:

Looks like a funky lacewood .



Dave, Ramon was Pablo Escobar's cousin, wasn't he ?

Ramon had more to do with throats than that Lovelace woman!

We're not that blind yet.....

It is yellow birch. Slightly stiffer than maple. I have made a J/B shaft from birch.

Thank you, i thought it might be birch, but had never seen a birch shaft up close.

Joeyincali, i have most of the carbon fiber materials and adhesives, the " carbon chuck shaft " cant be for behind. Stay tuned

It made me think of "areno blanco" which I once saw in a Joss shaft in these forums.

I'm pretty sure that is the same species of wood as the shaft I mentioned in my previous post, which also came in a group of maple dowels. I appreciate the correction.

It does look very similar. But I think I am wrong.

Considering how rare one is versus how common the other is, bet on the more common one.

As soon as I saw your pic I remembered that Joss post though. Pretty obscure, surprised I remembered. But I have synesthesia and think in abstract pictures. My memory is strange and does not work like most.

When Danny and I were working together at Joss Cues we were having difficulty finding clear shaft wood.

After some research we discovered Arieno Blanco, a wood from Central America.

It was a cream color with a fine overall grain.

We made a few shafts and it was very stable but very light and too soft.

We stopped using it very quickly.
