Tulipwood

Tulipwood cues have a very nice hit to them also. Did you core that one? The wrap sounded funny when I read it, but does not look bad on the cue. Nice work, and thank you for sharing.

Thanks Matt!

No, it's not cored. I, personally, don't believe in coring (I'll probably get some sh*t for that ). I've been turning this one over the course of 3 years, so I feel confident that it shouldn't move any at this point.

Besides, I agree that Tulipwood gives a nice hit. I wouldn't want to change that by coring.

I've don't use the Salmon colored wrap very often, but I think it compliments the color of the Tulipwood very nicely.

Thanks again for the kind words!
