A long long time ago...in a far away place. Actually Tony its somewhat a dual process. The cue pictured with the shade you like, it actually has the same color phenolic that Dave shows. It is darker than the current natural by a lot...not necessarily bad though as the new color has its place too. But how dark it is depends on many factors like did you stain it, what type of finish was used, etc. Some of the darkest orange is found on cues with no finish or oil type finish. The cue in my pic was several years old and that was a pic of it used. So...in a nutshell...you may have to settle for a shade lighter than hoped for. At least for a few years.:wink:
