hmmmm, tempting.... Do you know what the wood is in the butt? (looks like RW...) or the approx. age of the blank?

How does that old shaft hit with no ferrule? I've never hit an elk joint, how does it compare to ivory or LBM?

thanks,

Dave

i think it is rosewood. but i am not 100 % on this. i find the hit alot like ivory. not sure on the age of the blank either. it was already converted by chuck starkley when i bought it from him...
 
elk versus ivory

i think this wood might be mahogany, have records at home. i believe the elk has a bit firmer hit that ivory, but more important to me, its more durable. i have had a few ivory joint and ferrules crack, but never had elk do the same. don't get me wrong i love the look and feel of ivory, but i believe elk is a better material for cue materials.
i started using no ferrule shafts a couple years ago after i saw it being done by other builders on azb. looking back, brunswick did not use ferrules many years ago and charged an extra 25 cents to install one. wood pins and no ferrule cues have been around for many years.
as has been discussed many times the hit is subjective to each person, but in my humble opinion, i feel more in contact with the tip without the ferrule.
materials, techniques, and most important to me is carbon fiber pads makes for a no problem great playing shaft

i am not selling this cue but, if you have any other questions just call chuck at his customer service number 660 723-1346
