Best quality gun Ebony.
Second line gun Rosewood.
Both of the above are for show, a fine working rod Ash will take a lot of punishment takes wood dye well and being shot out of the gun though we never do that sort of thing do we? The makings of a good rod are all around you, low price single piece Snooker/Pool Cues a very high proportion of the shafts not the butt are made from Ash, well they are on this side of the pond. I have a number of low price cues in my workshop for making those very things. Have a look around and they are part made as well.
