Recently aquired an ebony nosed 9 pointer to go with my birdseye 9 pointer. Creates a nice "inverse" look don't ya think? The other cue in the picture is my old tried and true Ernie Martinez, which has some battle scars.

Wow, I finally saw these cues. I really like the Ernie, especially the rings, classic Ernie Martinez
 
Thanks Ted. You know, this Ernie "hits" so much better, to me, than his latest stuff. I don't know if he used a different shaft taper back then, or different construction methods, but the old stuff seems to have more "pop" to it. I know you have an extensive Ernie collection, I'd love to compare mine to some of your older ones.

So what do you think of the ebony SW?

As you know, I am a total cuenut. Putting that aside, you did very well, I like the Southwests a lot, the ebony cue is really different. The coco bola cue is a little fancier with the rings, but I like em both. I have a couple of Ernies that resemble your's, but I like the way he stained the rings. I haven't seen that before on his cues. You've really kept it in great condition. What year was it made?
 
Nice cues, if I didn't have my Kersenbrock,I would have a SW. Thank you for sharing your cues.poolrod.
 
I love the inverse look of the two SWs....two peas from the same pod.

Curious, what is the forearm wood on the Ernie....is that osage ??

Ted, the cocobola cue is actually goncalo alves wood alternating with ebony. The rings on the Ernie are not stained. That is Permumboco (sp?) wood. The points are madagascar rosewood. The cue was made around 1995.

Thanks for the nice comments. The forearm, as I mentioned to Ted, is Pernambuco, with Madagascar Rosewood points.
