Beautiful cue. I didn't think most cue makers used snakewood for anything more than points or inlays. Everytime I've inquired about using it for the handle or forearm of a cue I was told it was too unstable. LOL

Dave only agreed to using snakewood that was 5+ years in controlled climate. Using it for the handle was HIS ides, I just figured it would be points and embellishment, but Dave of course saw beyond that!
 
My favorite cue builder! Dave does incredable work with balance to boot. My 99 Kikel is my player.
Very nice, Purdman
