Which wood against ebony

[Standbykid]

Which points look the best against an ebony forearm?
Cocobolo
Tulipwood
Amboyna Burl
Lacewood

My first choice would be Amboyna, but it has to have some red in it, not just brown. That's my personal preference, but amboyna in general looks great with ebony.

My second choice would be Tulipwood. It's a lighter colored wood, and that creates contrast with the ebony forearm. Cocobolo is too dark, IMHO, to really stand out. Lacewood would also make good points, I guess, but I'm not too fond of the figuring...too "busy" for my tastes.

Rosewood works very well with ebony. Back in 1988, I had Paul Huebler make me a cue with an ebony forearm and four rosewood points with veneers, red with white speckled linen wrap, ebony butt, and a stainless joint.

I wished I would've never sold it!!!!!!!
