I would enjoy seeing it. If you ever take pictures. Please shareI was just thinking about it. I have one Barry for sure with pink ivory wood. It’s a pretty fancy older Barry.

Curly PI....those were the days!Got me CURLY PINK IVORY.
And I will surely not charge just 3 times it's cost.
Nope....you don't have to pay for anything.Wait. The second reason for how much you charge. I have to pay for the replacement piece and the next guy has to pay for that piece to be used in his cue?

I paid for the first piece out of my original start up funds.
As a business, if I continue to buy wood without the customer paying to replace it, how would you expect that business to stay in business?
As I mentioned, it is simply the formula I use to replace "high end woods" in my shop.
If you don't want a high end wood in your cue, you could easily opt for a piece of BE maple.
Thanks Ralf.Well written.
Desert Ironwood BURL was my expensived wood ever I had buy.
Yeah dark Tulipwood is really hard to get
This is common across the board with pretty much all items that are being sold. Especially when it comes to high end and hard to get supply chains.in barenbrugge defense
there was a time i was into collectible wine
when the wine market prices started to increase substantially
all the the wine already bought at a lower price went up in price because of the increased replacement cost
told to me by several wine merchants when i asked about the increased cost
Just who is does this Barenboogie guy think he is anyway? Charging for his wood like he owned it? What The Hell!! This is AZ Mister; you are expected to run your business the way the members want!! Not the way you want, for Christ sake!! What Da Fook!!
Nice cues.Well as I understand it Dave only builds about 20 or so Cues a year.
The Ringwork alone is like no one else does, they are functional artwork.
Understand everything he builds is spoken for, nice problrm to have.

What are the most rare exotic woods to request or look for in a cue to add value?
I think in my opinion a wood handled cue is attractive as well as a value addition due to the rarity of the wood just like in the 90’s when the craze was for ivory handled cues before the ban on ivory.Why do you want to pay more for a cue just to have fancier wood? Normally the thing to do is to find a wood you like and then see if you can afford it. Unless you are buying one to sell, but then you are in the same boat, you need to find someone that wants that wood in the cue vs just extra cost. A cue inlayed with gold will sure cost more to make, but if anyone cares about that would depend on the person looking to buy one.
