A traditional cue with "Vons Veneers". My design, but Jerry's execution and quality is outstanding:

Another traditional cue, blend of Bushka and 'Boti influence:

And another cue with "Vons Veneers" like the first one, but this one is pure Hoppe style with an ivory joint:

OOPS Max number of pics.
 
Nice cues!!

Got to love those classic lines. Jerry's points are some of the best available today. If you ever want to let one go let me know.

Very nice looking cues. Jerry does some very clean & excellent work.
I also sent you a PM. Jeff
 
Great stuff!

I too will have a ebony pointed green,orange,maple veneer 1/2 joint soon. Jerry made it for me and a couple conversion cues for my gilrs. Maybe in two weeks or sooooooooo!:D
I was lucky enough to get a straight grain maple forearm from some 30 year old stock he had laying around!
Sweet veneers man!

Here's the Hoppe-style with the exact same forearm (Vons Veneers) as the first cue above:

Yeah....I guess they're okay.....or whatever....

;) :)

Love the Von's Veneers, sir. Excellent choice of colors.

You have great tastes, my friend.
 
????????????

Do you like the 1//2 joint or full ivory's hit better? Is there any differance in feel? Do yyou think the 1/2 joint hits softer than ivory? My older 1/2 joint has a pillow soft hit. Even with a triangle on it!
Nick :)
 
Hiya Nick!

I absolutely LOVE the hit of Jerry's 1/2 joint!
I've always been a big fan of solid ivory joint with a big pin, and the above cue is all I expected and more.

So, back to your question - they are indeed very different hits. Typically ivory provides more feedback, whereas SS joints are stiffer. But with Jerry's 1/2 joints, you get them both! Nice, crisp hit but with tons of feedback.

They are really amazing.

Yes, he's making more for me.:) Here's the next one:

I liked these pics so much I had to bump them back to the top of the gallery page. Von you sure do have some very sweeeeeeeet looking cues
there sir. I love those VON VENEERS they really pop out at you. Great photos by the way. Congrats to you again. I think I`m really going give
Jerry a call & get something made for myself. Jerrys cues are simply the nuts. Jeff
 
I agree, his stuff is REALLY nice.

Excellent cues there Von and I think I am ready to add one to my 2 Webb's.

Koop - needs to stockpile for that Hercek in 5 years :D
 
Rauenzahn's "Black Diamond" Cue

Hey Von,

Nice set of -R- cues man, as always. You no doubt have an impressive arsenal. :) You gonna be at CB anytime soon? I gotta show you the "Black Diamond" cue I had Jerry make for me. It took a few months ofcourse, but well worth the wait, and more than happy to let Jerry work his craftsmanship and magic in that time. It's a hybrid style cue:Szamboti stacked veneer-rings/Bushka forearm veneers/Palmer MOP butt/Hoppe ivory rings, with an added flair of silver-lined wrapless and multiple MOP star inlay. I wouldn't have had anyone else forge this than Jerry - simply, he's the master. What d'ya think?

I saw the pics of this cue a while back

Jerry asked me what I thought. I said wow Jerry! Then I asked why the scalloped diamonds in the handle weren't offset so that every other pair to were in line to add balance in the handles design. I said that was the only thing I would change.
He told me this was your design. I was very impressed wth your taste.
Nick :)
 
Nice Looking Cue!

Nice looking cues Von!

Hiya Nicky!! ;)

I think Jerry makes some of the sharpest points on the planet .....even if they're green :D

Von, I actually think the veneer colors you choose look really SWEET (and I really LOVE BLUE :eek: )

Cograts on the new cue!

You Guys take Good Care,

Ken :cool:
 
WOW!! Double WOW!

Mike, that's absolutely gorgeous! It's like a "Tribute to the Masters"!!

Excellent design, my friend. Can't wait to see it. I'll be at CBC this afternoon.
Fantastic cue my friend. Kudos to Jerry!!
