Interesting; some of the colors remind me of irradiated wood that was available back in the 80’s (or maybe earlier?).

Ton of want a be cue makers like me. screwing around in the 600.00 to 1200.00 price range.
I sold custom pool cues internationally for years for years.
To make pool cue that sales for 5 k or more or 100K, I dot have that talent and I don't have a river of seasoned highly figured exotic.

Some cues I owned, not made ,except one of them

Problem is your always copying someone else's inlays
