Wow, I have no freakin clue how to even begin......... :D
He has used alot of cocobolo, (which is what Im guessing to answer your question), and he uses tons of other woods as well. Without a picture to be specific, there is no way to answer your question accurately though.

Im pretty sure its cocobolo, the auction says cocobolo too....... It does come in different color variations, and he is using funny lighting..... but the grain pattern looks like cocobolo to me.

i own one of this very model, from about '78

it's definitely cocobolo

btw, i thinks it's a steal at it's current price

He often used pao farro(sp?).....very "rich" brown w/o much grain. GREAT STUFF:)

Used BRAZILLIAN ROSEWOOD for the"US OPEN" model and some other customs
 
Another wood which looks like Coc. but they say it isn't is Mopane. I saw some at a mill and thought it was Coc, They said no.

b. wouldn't want to dispute the seller's word
c. know pix can be deceptive
BUT,

P.S. A good fresh Asian lunch meal near the office is $10 for me...I will look for the check. :p

I looked up Huebler cues and that model is still being made and sells new for 300.00. In the cues description all it says is that it is made out of Rosewood and Maple. A number of different cues are described in this manner, just stating Rosewood and not any particular type of Rosewood. However, there are a couple of cues that say they are made of Cocobolo. This makes me assume that he differentiates between Rosewood and Cocobolo in his descriptions. Besides that, it sure doesn't look like any Cocobolo I've ever dealt with.

I would have to say "Get up with the lunch money".

I did not bet it was coco, I bet it wasn't bubinga. There are many woods it could be, and your logic does provide evidence it is not coco, but that doesn't make it bubinga. I don't know about getting up with any money, but I sure am hungry...:D

Your right, that is what it says. But if I know Dale, his idea of an Asian lunch is a 12 cent pack of Ramin Noodles.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have eat many of them, though I have recently upgraded to the styrofoam cups with the 4 tiny bits of shrimp and 4 tiny bits of carrot and peas.

Tabasco always improves a 12 cent meal also...:p

LOL!!! - I resemble that remark

Back to the picture, It looks much more like binga than coco to me,
and, it looks EXACTLY like the intro cue of a well known
cuemaker, whoose name rhymes with poochie, that got PH started in
the cue biz - IIUC

It looks like a pale Pau Ferro (aka: Bolivian Rosewood, Morado). I would wager that it is not Cocobolo--no variability in color. That isn't to say that model was not made in cocobolo. That particular cue isn't one of them. Huebler used to make a damn good cue--at least that's what I thought in the 70's. Friend of mine had a full custom ivory-jointed "heart cue" with 3/8-10 pin--was a good player.

No way Bubinga Dale! Bolivian rosewood (inexpensive).

As Mr Neighbirs said re coco, it doesn't look like any of
the Marado I have used

Constintine describes Bubinga as being 'Salmon' colored
the pic is mucho like a piece I am gazing fondly at
even as we speak.

Of course, one really needs to see the actual cue, pics can be
very inaccurate, esp color. Even then, determining wood species
just by looking is subject to error.
