I don't think it's tulipwood or olivewod, the pore patterns are completely different plus there is a flame grain neither wood possesses. That narrows it down to thousands of other species. It is nice looking and so is the cue itself everything goes together.
It is Carribean Rosewood. It is slightly straight grained and will have dark and light spots thru out the wood. I have 3 in process of Carribean now. It is great wood.

As you can see, there are strong similarities in grain structure but two distinctly different woods. There likely are some lighter color variations of chechen but I have personally never seen it. It's always dark brown except for the sapwood & it is a pale sandy yellow. The canary is more yellow/orange & often has the red streaks. Both woods are beautiful examples of stuff we don't see in cues nearly enough.
