ALL THE WOODS I USE ARE UNIQUE AND AGED FOR MANY YEARS BEFORE BEING TURNED INTO CUE WOOD. CAMPHOR IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOODS. UNFORTUNATELY, IT CAN ONLY BE USED ON BUTT SLEEVES, AS IT IS VERY LIGHT. BLACK PALM COMES FROM ISLANDS THAT HAVE BLACK SAND BEACHES. THE SAND GETS BLOWN INTO THE WOOD, THEREBY MAKING THE BLACK STREAKS. IT IS A GREAT HANDLE WOOD--NOT RECOMMENDED FOR A FOREARM. RED PALM COMES FROM BEACHES WITH REDDISH SAND.
AS FAR AS THE BEST HITTING WOOD FOR A CUE, BOCOTE IS SECOND ONLY TO ROSEWOOD.

HERE ARE 10 WOODS THAT WOULD BE EXCEPTIONAL FOR FOREARMS, OR HANDLES, IN ANY CUE. KING WOOD IS AMPLY NAMED, AS IT IS THE WOOD OF KINGS. IT IS NOT ONLY BEAUTIFUL AND DENSE; IT IS A GREAT HITTER. PINK IVORY, A VERY RARE WOOD, IS VERY DENSE AND GLOWS WITH THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PINK HUES. AMBOYNA BURL IS BEAUTIFUL, BUT IT MUST BE CORED WITH PURPLE HEART.

TULIP WOOD IS PRIZED BY CUE MAKERS. IT HAS GORGEOUS COLORS AND IS ALSO A GREAT HITTER. ALL OF THESE WOODS ARE EXCEPTIONAL IN BEAUTY AND WOULD COMPLIMENT ANY CUE.

ALL OF THESE 8 WOODS ARE PERFECT FOR THAT SPECIAL CUE. MUN EBONY IS VERY DENSE AND SO IS OSAGE ORANGE. HOLLY IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL WOOD, SOMETIMES CALLED "POOR MANS IVORY" AND IS DRAMATIC WHEN PAIRED WITH EBONY OR TULIP WOOD. TO SEE HOLLY IN A CUE, GO TO THE "CUES FOR SALE" SECTION.
