Or some other species.
Your mind might be blown if you ever sent some samples previously identified by cue building wood experts to the USDA lab for actual identification.
That wood is dark brown. I think we can all agree on that. Seems like brown wood has the most diverse identifications.

What species do you think the maker thought he was using when he built the cue?

Looks EI Rosewood or macassar ebony to me
Thank you.
I'm not a cue-maker, and I tend to shy away from posting here, but it could also be very dark Bocote. What is the weight of the cue, and do you know whether or not is has been cored? I do tend to agree with the possibility of Macassar Ebony.
I had a very old Jacoby cue once. I would have sworn the damn thing was Bocote. I was thinking about having Jacoby restore the cue. I called and spoke to them at length regarding the cue. I sent them photos, and they identified the cue, as one of their earlier Cocobolo models. I would have never believed it. To this day, I have never seen a piece of Cocobolo, that looked that much like Bocote.
