Hello and apologies if this is in the wrong place, but I'm trying to identify or confirm what wood I have here, on a billiards cue.

I think it could be pearwood as this was used in cue making when this cue was built and I do not think it is maple which was usually used with this type of cue. If it's anything else, I don't know what it might be.

Grateful for any opinions..

Pear is a creamy colour so if it is pear it has been stained. It looks like cherry to me but as others have said, it could be almost anything, it is hard to tell from such a small sample.

I've been restoring the cue and I noticed this piece at the bottom was very hungry for linseed oil, it was a bit lighter before I started the oiling
