The McDermott G224 forearm and sleeve are made of natural Bocote wood. Bocote is a highly figured wood with stark contrasts in the different colored wood grain. The colors range black to tan to dark brown. 5 Coats of UV resistant polyurethane give the cue a very high sheen and really makes the grain stand out. 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.
