BUILD STATUS: Ready
My 7 year old niece Sammi came up with the design on this one. She suggested cutting a stunning piece of orange/blue beech into pieces and I didn’t want to do it. But then I realized the neutral-colored wood between the orange parts would expand their width and add mystery. The green?
I dunno. All part of the mystery of the Fires of Purple Flames.
But I like it!

*The stunning grain patterns and markings you see come from the wood being spalted, which means, rotten. Rotten wood is weak and unsuitable for building pool cues. But spalted wood that has been stabilized is another matter. Stabilized wood has been dried, placed in a vacuum, impregnated with resin, and cured in an oven until the resin hardens. The resulting wood is strong and durable enough to easily provide the strength required for a cue.
The wood comes from the woods around me in western PA.
