This is my favorite non pointed cue, and it just so happens to be made of some very nice tulipwood.

Kevin, that is a beautiful cue! I like the simplicity of no points, no inlays. Just the good looking wood.
Tulipwood is known to be strong but light in weight. How much does the Butt weigh?

Tulipwood is known to be strong but light in weight.

I mistakenly confused two Tulips:

1. Tulipwood; Dalbergia decipularis (also Dalbergia frutescens) Native to South America. The Tulip most commonly used on cues. Weight; 60 lbs/ft3

2. Tulip; Liriodendron tulipifera. Native to the easten seaboard of North America. Also mistakenly called “poplar” by various wood industries in North America, since it is not poplar and not related to the “populous” species of wood. Weight; 29 lbs/ft3
A weight difference of 50% or 100% depending from which one calculates.

You got that correct...
Dalbergia is a true rosewood and is far from light in weight and makes an excellent cue wood.
