Kamui II Black SS on both shafts bottom pics (SS reveals the Ivory hit)

Rolls Perfectly Straight Together and Apart!

The Ivory work alone is already half of the price! The cues uniqueness is it's a Plain Jane Ebony Cue look but when playing - under the table light, blue veneers halucinates players & spectators! Everyone that sees this cue is blown away!

Playability of the cue nothing less than perfect! The Solid Ivory Joint is just a sweet feeler! My $3K Carmeli didnt even come with a Solid Ivory Joint - it's half an inch and only an insert to the wood. It does not hit the same as this cue.

SOLD

Damn thats a badass cue, I think it will help the sale if you post better pictures of the points.
 
@Lukemindsih: Thanks brother it is bad specially when playing on a table with blue cloth. As the light strikes the cue it halucinates the spectators. EVERYONE always! comes up to me to ask about the cue and see it up close. Even right in the middle of a match. My pics are large but AZ doesnt allow me to post their actual size. When I load it the pics come out small. :(

I always liked that cue.

I just left Rick's shop and he has an Amboyna Burl Outside veneer cue that blew me away. No worries because it was his player!
Your cue's wood is $300 extra and the joint is $250. Is is around a $1900 new order unless those crazy rings are extra.
Trades?

Nick,

Yes, he will charge for those crazy rings as they are Genuine Ivory as well. Rick's build is one of the finest and you pay for that :) And yes Rick wants $1900 + for a new one.

PS. This SOLID Ivory Joint is the Nuts! It's like you never want to stop hitting balls :D
 
This was by far one of the best deals on here as of late. I originally talked with Rick about making this cue for a friend of mine. It was sketchy as to how the cue would come out with the dark nose and points but it turned out great. The ivory ringwork is extra $$ and along with the Hoppe ring, ferrules and solid joint this cue is a real nice piece of work.

Very nice!

I have seen this cue before, but your pictures really bring out the veneer color.

Rick's work is awesome, and his cues are players.

Good luck with the sale, and nice job with the pics!
 
Ebony Ivory available one last time. Scratch wanted it as his player but the shaft did not feel right to him he needed it to be @ 13mm. So it's once again up for grabs.
 
Chris is a stand up guy! Both of my other Howards have thicker shafts and this cues shafts would not work for me. Chris promised 100% satifaction and delivered. No questions asked. This cue is nothing short of a MONSTER player and looks amazing!
 
Rick Howard CUE

I am the orignal owner of that cue, and it is indeed a monster.

I will answer or try to answer any questions to help. I will offer a little bit as these guys are being honest about the blue hue under the lights of a table. It kinda glows, I know that sounds wierd but it looks great under the table lights. :thumbup:

The night I got it from Rick I was stunned at the veneers; I would put up against anyone and I do mean anyone. Rick was really proud of the veneers. He gave the cue to me at DCC, and then later came back up to me about after getting in a money game. He asked to use my brand new cue! He went on to win a few hundred (definately less than 1K) in a game at DCC. After winning the money, he joked that he should have charged me more because the cue played great!

Heck...he should have given you a percentage of the winnings because he had to "borrow" YOUR equipment!!! ;)

I love hearing stories like that!

This is one great looking cue...I'll admit, I have cue envy!!! :p
