I have owned a couple of BdR cues in that darker shade. If you lay it next to an ebony cue, you can tell the difference...BdR being more of a black cherry color. Amazingly great playing wood, with high resonance.
Congrats on a beautiful cue!

Its like saying you aren't as ugly as your sister....it isn't a compliment...

Lol, Ken! I must be a bit 'off', because I get quite a few odd ducks. I, however, do know a couple of other color-blind characters.

Just wanted to follow up and say how pleased I am with this cue . I went a little outside my normal cue buying fold too get this one as it's not Brazilian Rosewood. I gotta say I'm very glad that I did.
The first thing that got my attention was the packing job. The shafts and the butt were protected by 3 different layers. 1st the clear plastic cue bag folded over and taped, then several layers of newspaper and more tape , Then each piece was inserted into pvc pipe and the ends stuffed with bubble wrap and then more tape . All shipped safe and sound in a triangle shaped box. The reason I mention this is as I was unpacking it struck me that I had received cues that cost 10x as much that were just thrown in a box, This guy cares about his work and really sweats the details down to the last step of packing the cue up properly.
After getting it unwrapped I was very pleased by glossy smoothness of the finish . My wife who never says anything about the cues commented on what a "pretty" cue it was so I think the combo of the Bois de Rose / Maple Burl must be working.
I found fit and finish to be excellent with no visible flaws . I was also please to see that the ring work lined up when screwing the butt on the shaft , a pet peeve of mine.
I haven't had a lot of table time with the cue but I definitely like the slim handle and the taper that Brent is using . I also like whatever the tips on the cue are they seem nice and firm without being overly hard. He also used a pad under the tip which I like. Given the materials used in this cue , The fancy JP's and the quality in general I think the cue represents a tremendous value.
Anyway dealing with Brent was a pleasure and If you like a cue that's a bit thinner in the handle with good balance I suggest you give him a call. I look forward to my next BHQ.
