Crazy Loco Cocobolo

[phil dade]

Here is one of the most highly figured pieces of Cocobolo that I have ever seen making it a very rare Merry Widow. The segmented handle features the Curly Buttery BEM I mentioned on the other cue.
The distinct and rare properties of these woods made these Barenbrugge's "must haves" for me.
I have been rehabing a rotator but I had to hit some with this cue. Man did it move the CB around.

I hope you like the woods!

I am doing a furhter backround check. This may be BRW?

Nice snags Phil....I remember both of these cues very well. Yes, they were both very special cues that just seemed to make your work on table effortless.
Most definitely a special piece of Mexican cocobolo on this one. I have the sister piece of BRW to match the other cue for points and a handle that has my name written on them for a new player! Something I don't normally do but I stained the BE handle with a orange peoke tea bag that gave it a spectacular match to the coco.
I'd take both of these cues back in heart beat if you ever decide to let go of them! :wink:

Thank you Dave for your input. That clears it up. Oh, BTW, I do not want to send them back, unless I need a new shaft due to excess bluing:smile: I love them both!

Absolute stunner, that's some wild cocobolo right there!
There's only a handful of cue makers whom i think does justice to gorgeous woods and Dave's definitely right up there!

Sick cue. Rings are out a sight....and I'm a sucker for cocobolo fronts on cues for both the beautiful wood and playability. Sweet. Matt D.
