My father bought this cue in Oregon about twelve years ago or so. I believe it was from a local cue maker but am not sure. Any ideas?

Take better pictures of the cue. It might help if you take a few pictures of the pin and also a few of the weight bolt under the rubber bumper. Sometimes, these aid in a cue ID. Close ups of the point work also helps.
 
Hmm I've had few cues that looked close too this but this one looks like custom of some sort the guys on here know there stuff I'm sure someone on here will know first site
 
Im in Oregon. Take a pic of the pin, the trim rings and the a pic of the butt with the bumper off. There are not that many Oregon cue makers.
 
Identify this cue?

Is the ferrule in two parts? 1" ferrule 1/4" wood and the 1/4" ferrule again. If it does it a Sowder Custom Cue.
 
I checked with Sowder and was told it was not his. I will post some better pics as soon as I can of the joint, butt cap, and ring work.
 
Here are closer pictures of the points, joint, and ringwork.

The trim rings remind me of early Coker cues. A lot of players in Oregon play Cokers due to Jim Oswald of Billiards & Bagels in Portland having been a strong promoter of Coker cues while he was alive.

Tom used 3/8x10 standard pins. Don't think he ever used radial.
