The McDermott G223 butt is made of a very unique and beautiful wood called Cocobolo. It comes from equatorial regions of South America and Asia. It is unique in its coloring which is naturally orange, brown and even red tones in the grain. The wood is complimented by silver white and cocobolo rings at the collar wrap and sleeve. Color Disclaimer: The beauty of wood lies in its natural irregularities. The color of wood and the stain applied to wood is affected by many factors outside of the control of McDermott Cue including, but not limited to, type of wood, color of wood, grain pattern or figure, wood density, mineral marks in the wood, and the staining application process. Every monitor and printer displays colors differently, therefore samples shown online or in print are for basic comparison purposes only and should not be used as exact references. By choosing wood you are accepting the natural and acceptable differences in color.
