I have a super nice Frey butterfly sneaky. The butt is in near mint shape with just a little smudge by the butt cap. Shaft shows some blue but has no nicks or anything. Butt is dead straight and the shaft has the slightest taper roll. Absolutely fantastic player. Bob's cues are the nuts.
bacote into straight grain maple front
Butt: 15.4 oz, butterfly splice, 3/8 x 10
Shaft: 3.8 oz, 5/8” aegis ferrule, 13mm LePro tip
Value priced at 315 shipped. PayPal as a gift or ads for fees. Not trades unless its way in my favor cause Im giving this thing away. Need some cash.
Sold - thanks! I'll add the 3%.

Before the cue is turned, the bocote handle is a rectangular block. It is cut at an angle and a piece removed where the butterflies are installed. Then a simple stack of wood veneers that were glued up and laminated together are added to that angular cut. Then another piece of wood is added on top of that. In this case the veneers are a stack of black, yellow, green and red veneers. Then a piece of wood is put back on that (in this case ebony) and added to the butt before it was turned.
It's the the taper of the butt and the angle of the original cut that makes them look like butterfly's are offset when turned and revealed.
FYI I'm putting together a mini collection of interesting Sneaky Pete's as a display for the pool room of the new house. Some are being custom made. I've been contacting various cue makers about it. I just liked the look of this sneaky. It's different and that's what I'm going for.
