I have one old growth shaft in my cue.
It is quite dark in color and plays really GREAT!!!
The wood came from lake Superior which was found underwater..

Im not a cue builder my godfather is a cabinet maker/old lumber jack.
He says this is one of the best ways to cure wood and today is still one of the best ways to cure wood. There is a place near here called cuabin recover.
They pulled up these logs that have been sitting down there for over 100 yrs. these logs went for big bucks do to the fact that they stayed. Preserved for over 100 yrs in tacked maple and cheery. He sead that the quality of this wood would be like a one. This is how the old lumberjacks use to get the wood from one place to another using rivers to bring logs down stream. Nowadays they use cheery pickers and trucks. Rivers and resovars are a thing of the past......... take a fish pump with filter a cold plate 50 gallon drum and your shaft wood fill the drum with well water. Not tap that has chlorine. Let sit for a yr try this with some ok 2nds the filter will filter out the resin and sap from the water the same way. As well as the pump keep water flowing threw the drum. All you need to do is keep an eye on water level the cold plate will keep the water at one temp like the cold rivers of the north. Well this is just my .02 cents. Never know it could work.
