Made this one for Jannie down under in Australia. It is what I call a "convertable" which means it can be used as a breaker or a player depending on which shaft you select. The full splice billet is cut so that the ebony runs all the way thru to the threaded butt cap. The handle sleeve is Camatillo Rosewood and the butt cap & joint are water buffalo.
The shaft(s) are PH with one having a G-10 ferrule and Samsara JB tip (13mm). The other has a Mason Micarta ferrule and Moori M tip (12.75mm).
Camatillo RW (sometimes called Mexican Kingwood) comes from southern Mexico and is now getting hard to find in decent pieces large enough for cues. Its tonal properties rank right up there with Brazilian RW. It needs to be thoroughly seasoned as it is usually air dried. Once seasoned it is very stable and smells terrific when cutting it.
