WTT / WTB : A Cue with these specs ....

[neilhin]

Since I'm impatient and don't want to wait for the right cue to be built, I thought I'd throw this out there and see what is available. A custom cue or well made production cue ... I don't care because it will be custom for ME. Since I have become used to an LD shaft so the shaft won't matter. Here goes:

Butt weight: 14.7 oz (preferrably small or no weight bolt)
Butt diameter: 2.9 cm (1.15") at about 20" from joint face
Balance point: 16" +/- from joint face (the balance point from the rear will vary slightly depending on the exact length of the cue)
Joint Pin: 5/16X14, 3/8X10, radial or uniloc (flexible)
Joint Collar: Wood or Phenolic (NO Stainless Steel)
Wrap: Tacky Leather or Wrapless (NO Irish Linen)

I like nice ringwork (eg. Samsara) and wood (burl, etc). Fancy inlay work, etc. is not necessary but no plain janes either

Willing to pay up to $500 cash or will go higher in trade or trade plus cash

Not exact, but close

This one comes close to your specs. The weight is just under your spec at 14.4 oz., the diameter at 20" from the joint is .025" under at 1.125"
and the balance (I'm assuming you mean "without" the shaft attached) is 17" from the joint face.

The cue currently has no weight bolt and, if I add a weight bolt (to get your weight spec), the balance will move farther back.

I could replace the joint pin and add weight there to get your weight and balance specs for an additional $50.

Unfortunately, I can't do much about the diameter

Here are the full specs:

18.2 oz. (14.4 butt / 3.8 shaft)
balanced 18 1/2" from butt cap
13mm dia. tip
.850" dia. joint (Black phenolic)
1.250 dia. Butt cap (Black phenolic)
3/8-10 joint pin
Titan ferrule
Laminted "Pigskin Pro" Tip
Curly Maple Forearm and Butt Sleeve
Ebony and Purple veneer/stitch rings at all positions
Wrapless Purpleheart Handle

Asking $300 plus shipping as it is.

Cuemaster98 has some nice selection of custom.
They are nicely priced too. Just search his username

I've updated my original post to reflect how much I am willing to pay.

Thanks for the offer. Actually, adding weight to the rear of the cue will increase the balance point from the front of the cue making it more than 17". In addition, I'm looking for something a bit fancier.

Thanks Santamaria. I know Cuemaster98 has a nice selection but these specs are important and the pics won't mean anything. This requires a bit of effort on someone's part and its not reasonable for me to expect that everyone will be willing to go through the trouble. That's why I threw up the post. If I don't find anything I'll simply have one made.
