They have used some other woods but it's exceedingly rare. Pink ivory, blackwood, osage orange, & bacote all come to mind, but I'm sure there have been some others. Probably used some other 'rosewoods' back in the day, too.

How rare is a rosewood forearm? I have a tulipwood into rosewood. Never thought too much about the woods until reading this thread.

My first one was Indian rosewood. Laurie said it would be one of the last ones, they couldn't get the rosewood any more.

Rosewood was used mainly early on. Ive not seen a rosewood cue in ages.

You ever see a Titleist or 4 point cue...Let me know. Those are quite rare and I know Laurie is trying to buy those back. I heard a number of about 10 mentioned...

I may have a picture of my Southwest, I'll have to look for it, though, and it may take a while

Here is my Indian rosewood Southwest, best I can do, unfortunately. Hope you can see it.
The black comma-like thing is a camera problem.

here's mine: rosewood is first on the left.

As I just told the original poster in a pm, this is one of the two cues out of all I've owned over the years that I wish I could get back. I think my Varney Brazilian rosewood plays very similar but not quite the same
