Highest bidder at 4PM Pacific time on 6/12/10.


I built this cue when I was adjusting my full splice jig and the veneers are not perfect. The flaws are very small and I can't bring myself to throw this cue away. It looks great and will play better. The guys that stop by my shop have not noticed the flaws. Compared to most of the full splice cues I purchased and converted it's flawless.

I know some don't think a less then perfect cues should be sold so please don't post that. The cue is very close to perfect and needs to be played with.


Bloodwood and Curly Maple. Veneers are black/red/orange/yellow with black papers between.

Piloted 5/16x14 pin with Stainless joint.
Black Phenolic butt cap no rubber.
The 29" butt is 15.5oz and has no wight added.
The 13mm shaft is 4oz with no tip or ferrule. You can pick these.
Black textured wrap.
The cue is finished with UV clear. The clear is beautiful.

The base of the points are where the flaws are and I'm showing pictures of the bad spots. The black veneer is thicker on one side. I couldn't get the tips of the points even.

PM's replied to. It's open to any bid in $20 increments. If you like it throw out a bid. Money back guarantee that it looks far better then the pictures. If it doesn't feel great in your hands I'll refund your money. At a tournament it would be sold in minutes.

I get questioned on my selling techniques. I'm a builder not a salesman. When I have extra cues from practicing new techniques I let the highest bidder have them. If I had a dealer I'd send it to them and let them promote it.

The cue is very nice. The flaws are tinny and hard to see.
 
Cuetips sent a bid in a PM. $275.00


"Hi, I would like to offer you $275.00 shipped to London, Ontario Canada"
 
What a beauty Mr.Gracio if it had a different joint i would love to bid................. BUMP.........:)
 
The weight can be played with. I can't predict what it will finish at.

A rubber bumper can be added if the buyer wants.
 
Back up top. Great player.

Cueballdg stopped by to look at it and his exact words were. "it's beautiful and the flaws are very hard to see, the wrap is perfect"
