Whoever loved the ringwork, ME TOO. Cue is nice, I was sorta asking an academic question.
started typing a reply and it was gone so if I repeat myself ooops. Thanks for the answers. I was always under the impression that handles, if not for added decoration, were maple, PH, or a laminate.paulybatz said:

could have been a plain looking piece of Koa.i have soem old growth Koa in the shop and it is fairly dense,but not very pretty,but good tone as someone already said.
Kos is the wood that makes me curious about the "tap-tone" testers.the tap tone on koa when you bounce it off the floor is very dead sounding,but when you put it in a cue it makes an excellent feeling cue with great feedback.
one other reason it might be in this cue is to soften the hit.Olivewood is extremely hard,crisp hitting and the koa handle would be an excellent choice to dampen the hit a little bit,but not lose the tone or feedback,if that makes any sense.

Beautiful cue. I can only imagine the toxic dust in making that.
Koa handle?
K, send me all slow growth maple handle woods. The uglier, the better.

I have an olivewood with braz rosewood handle in the works right now.
Awesome cue Eric. Always nice to see your designs and innovative..ness.
Olivewood is nice and hits great. I got 1 from Masonh. Kao is another wood that hits very well and the tone is music to the ears. The Curly Kao handled cue that I got from Eric looks ugly in a beautiful kinda way.
Nice looking cue you got there. Congrats to the owner.

Here goes... (Note: My photography skills leaves to be desired. The Curl on the Kao can't be noticed.)
