Ok.. I will shed some light on this cue, that needs to be shed..
# 1 He didn't do anything in the points as NOT to take away from the butt sleeve and the wrap #2.. with ivory "points", it would have just looked like all the other ivory pointed cues that have been done, over and over and over..
It's not EBONY... it's Black Palm.. and it came from Burton Spain when Paul and him were discussing his booklet and the original Bill. Ency.. Burton advised him on how to treat it, use it, store it, etc... If you could see the forearm in person you would see it has great figure and it has a lot going on...
