Anyone else collect exotic wood pool cues

[chumscustoms]

I have a fascination with pool cues.
Every time I cut wood I always look for burl or unique peices.
But out plain Jane woods can get boring.
Didn't know if anyone else on here shares this hobby I have

The first two are actually from a walnut tree and maple that I helped my dad cut when I was a child

Wow those are nice.
I don't collect them but the sure look great.

Do you use them for their stated purpose or just look at them?

 

[chumscustoms]

I use them. Alot,
But also collect them

So whats your game?

At state it's 8 and 9 ball.
I prefer playing straight pool/14.1 or snooker. But don't have proper table for snooker
