I have been into ebony Dufferin Cues recently and picked up another one from a member here that just came a few days ago. That's the third one in the pics. Original butt conversion said to be Baxter, piloted 5/16x14 stainless collar, with short wrap added later possibly by Theewen, Jerry R shaft with ivory ferrule. Frankencue. In any case the work is very nice. I grabbed some pictures today but I had been playing with them and realized when I pulled them up on my PC I should have wiped them off. That ebony sure does show the hand smudges! Oh well, it's the real world. Here they are. Anything you see on the finish is just hand smudges. Yes, they play very nice.
Any thoughts on a more presentable bumper on that first cue?
Bonus: My daughter was plating pool with me today. She hand made this purse with her art on it, so I set up this shot with the purse. It is fully lined with pockets and compartments inside and two handles that clip to the D rings, and it has a shoulder strap that buckles to each end that is not in the picture.
I think she needs to make me a butterfly case.
