"The cue came in at 19.05 ounces, Two shafts 12.85 mm med Moori Tips. I used Green spec "Penn" linen for the wrap. I have two spools of the Penn left from Burton's Spain's stock, it's about 20 years old, can't get linen like this anymore"

Joel has to be one of the greatest cue-makers to interact with ... always generous with his time and so informative

this is just gorgeous to hold in your hand... i am so ecstatic i can barely contain myself !

how sweet are those barbells !

Here is a little background on PENN for you Kam. It was manufactured by a company still in business today, Gudebrod. PENN was and still is a fishing reel company, and contracted with Gudebrod to supply the Linen line for their reels. I visited their facility in Pottstown, PA. several years ago, but they had already moved from the old site, and sold all of the old stuff. This close proximity to Gus Szamboti may have been the reason PENN line was used instead of Cortland some of the time. Just thought you'd like to know.

The cue is phenomenal!

Beautiful balance of color and design.

Joel is also one of the nicest cuemakers on the planet.

Enjoy the hell out of it. :smile:

Excellent cue, Kam. You have more patience than me if you didn't want to see pictures ahead of time.

Joel added Penn to my cue and I love the way it feels.
