Rai Uno's Cue
This beautiful cue has a cored, quilted bubinga forearm & waterfall bubinga buttsleeve. The 6 points (3 high/3 low) and accent ring in the buttsleeve are curly katalox. Veneers with matching colors & black paper accent the wood choices and are used in both the points & the trim rings. An ivory joint collar & matching JP's complete the set.

a better look at the buttsleeve, first with a brown bumper, then with black... The cue is slightly rotated in the 2nd picture but you are looking at the same area of the buttsleeve. However, the light source is from a different angle. This shows how radically the grain pattern shifts with waterfall bubinga. A still picture does not do it justice.
