The symbol of England's might and grace. It has legendary longevity in building and furniture making, but has anyone made cue shafts out of it?
Wood Species Specific Gravity* Compressive Strength (psi) Bending Strength (psi) Stiffness (Mpsi) Hardness (lb)
Ash_______________0.60_________7,410______________ _15,000___________1.74_________1,320
White Oak_________0.68__________7,440_______________15,2 00___________1.78_________1,360
Maple_____________0.63__________7,830_____________ _15,800___________1.83_________1,450
Mechanically, oak would appear to be closer to ash than maple, though grains are different of course. Oak is a bit denser than both, could that help the balancing of a potential shaft to be more forward weighted?
