Red Mallee Burl!! I have never seen it used in a cue but love the color and look of it!! Not sure if it is even suitable for cues but it certainly looks sweet.

They had a vendor at the Open this year that had the Red Mallee.... I was actually going to buy some pieces but I got caught up and didn't get out to see the guy again before we left... How much you looking for on the 2 pieces you have in the photo????
