What color of phenolic is this............??

I know it comes in different 'browns' so what would this be considered? https://proficientbilliards.com/2022/07/06/birdseye-tad-cue/ I love the classic simplicity of this cue.

That looks almost like canvas phenolic. It's got such a visible and distinct weave. Brown phenolic has such a huge variation to it, it can be hard to match unless you have something from the original source.

Southwest had this color in some of their earlier cues.
I'd call it a reddish brown.
Back in the late 90's I was cruising a local plastics shop and found a piece in the scrap bin for cheap and snatched it up.
Was only big enough diameter for joints. I've since looked for a match in a larger diameter and have never been able to find an exact match.
Nice color
The other problem you run into is some of these colors will change over time when exposed.
Or you think you've found a match and when it gets cut it ends up being a totally different color.

It's linen as far as I know. I have some mahogany linen and I wouldn't sell them for the world.
