That cue is hotter than my wife. And I feel confident saying that because she doesn't post here. If she did, its just ok. LOL.
Seriously, gorgeous cue! You're lucky guy.

The greatest conversion cue even built...BILL SCHICK 360<----------------------------

I can't rember.
It was long ago and I wasn't paying attention. Did Mr Bill take 3 years or longer letting the blank stablize while he proceeded with each step or was it longer.
That fact shouldn't be lost here. This cue was built using a process by Mr Bill that took many years. It wasn't just a quick build. Much thought and patience went into the constructin of this cue to insure it's quality would reflect the builders respect for this awesome blank.
If you would be kind enough, PM a price for the butterfly cue. I forgot to ask.

Badass cue, the only 360 conversion I have seen. Is there another set of points and butterflys under the wrap?
I swear this is how I felt when I opened it. I didn't even have words.
First time that ever happened to me about a cue.
chris G<------wishes he could feel that way once a week:grin-square:
I think they should take down that dog Mona Lisa and hang that cue in it's place.:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::
Beautiful! Very tasteful and well done.
Did Bill give a reason, why he is making the ivory tips on the 3/8-10 thinner now? Or is there something else different about them? The only difference that I can see from the older Schicks is the thickness? Is the Scrimshawed S still the same? Thanks & great cue!

nope.
this was the buttend of the cue.
more butterflies and fullsplices would have been above where the joint is now.
(2 more sets).
chris G<------will just deal with what I have......I guess.
:wink::wink:
nooooooo.
now I have my favorite schick of all time.:thumbup:
chris G<-----good seeing Guy @ the tourney
they just don't stand up so high now.
there was a small blemish on the pin of this cue at the tip.
he said he tried to cover the blemish with ivory, resulting in what you see here.
he liked the way it turned out so much, he's doing them all like this now.
yes, the "S" is still the same old english engraving on the pin.
chris G<------lucky to have #1
Very nice, wow!!
Did it come with shafts ??
Yes wise ass.:kma:
He's got matching joint caps for it on the way.
chris G<-------can't wait to see Master Schick's touch on those
model 360 with original spliced shaft
Chris,
Here's one that Jerry Rauenzahn restored. It's exactly like the one in the Brunswick brochure figure V.120 from 1923-24 located on page 197 of The Billiard Encyclopedia 3rd Edition.
All white is ivory. The full-spliced points are very sharp on both ends. How did they master this full-splice back between 1912-1924??? Each cue has three full splices and 5 veneer butterflies on top of that!
Mr. Jerry -R- thought this cue belonged in a Museum, so do I. Unfortunately the pictures don't show the yellowing patina in the old ivory. Up close this cue is a true gem.

Took this cue out tonight for a test run (played a dozen racks of 8-9 ball). VERY STIFF hit even though the shaft is 25 1/2" long, and it has the ivory joints. IT REALLY surprised me!!
I love the way the ebony feels and looks while lining up a shot.
Enjoy,

More pics of the two old Bruswick model 360's in my collection. Mr. Jerry Rauenzahn restored both of these.
