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.

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

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.
don't need any right now.
They call that natural color phenolic. It will vary greatly from one batch to another. The best way to match joint and butt rings color is to buy the larger 1.375 butt solid rod and cut all sizes of rings out of the same piece.
