type of wood on this Runde cue

[gambler67]

anyone know the type of wood in this cue?

 

[gambler67]

the light brown one is the wood in question

 

[PDX]

Call Bob. He would know. If you need his number I can send it to you.

 

[S.Vaskovskyi]

My guess is lacewood. With a closer picture would be easier to say.

Tough to see.
The one on the right was made by some good looking dude though. :grin:

Meh, average at best

 

[Maxx]

The one on the right looks familiar.

 

[Dave38]

Looks like mahogany to me

 

[S.Vaskovskyi]

With these pictures... it's obviously not lacewood. Another guess... chakte viga. Cuemaker knows for sure).

 

[gambler67]

best guess i had so far is sapele, lacewood and mahogany have also been mentioned

 

[PDX]

Padauk is my guess.

Not lacewood for sure .
Is the cue heavy ?

I've seen bloodwood in that shade as well.
If it's heavy without a bolt .
Looks like mahogany/Lauan as mentioned .

Padauk sounds good to me, especially Burma padauk which tends to be less reddish. But I don't know how anyone could begin to give a real answer without being able to examine the end grain.

 

[Mcues]

Bloodwood is a good guess

Mario

 

[Kim Bye]

Padauk or redheart is my guess.

 

[Ssonerai]

Not bloodwood.
Highly doubt Padauk.
Some sort of "mahogany" type wood anything from Meranti/Lauan/Sapele/etc to possibly honduran.

As has been noted: is it heavy or light without a weight bolt?
e.g. bloodwood does not float, or barely. Padauk pretty heavy too. the others are considerably lighter.

I made a few Padauk jump handles, one of the reasons was the fairly low weight of the wood. It looks identical to the Runde in the picture.

I believe it's straight grain and plain Narra.

The color matches and the grain matches but I can't be 100% sure.

Love to hear people's reasoning on ID, particularly when they are saying it is not something. There can be a lot of variation in grain, color, even density within the same species. Some are going to be more distinct in color and figure, but straight grain and brownish-reddish?
