That's very nice. Should be a helluva player.
Is this going to be for sale/trade?
 
RH Cue

Very nice cue Mike. I used to own a RH cue and I know how they play.....VERY GOOD! I know you'll enjoy it.

Thanks. Actually I saw this ringwork on a Zylr cue and thought it looked pretty classy. Rick did an incredible job with this cue. Fit and finish are just spectacular!!!

Nice catch on the ferrules.

Actually the cue is getting a quick tune up.

Rick is putting on a black leather wrap, and I'm switching the tips over to my favorite, Kamui Black SS's.

I'll repost some pics when I get it back!

This is only the 2nd I've ever seen. I talked to Rick, and by his own estimate he's made less than a dozen over his career.

Sorry for the necropost but here goes. I actually have a 5/16x18 SS joint Rick Howard merry widow cue. It's from '97 and has two shafts wearing Moori Medium tips. I acquired the cue in 1999, it's actually the longest that I've ever owned a cue. The reason that it's stayed with me is because of the hit, solid and wonderful. I'll work on getting pics up. I can e-mail pics to someone if they want to host them.

ETA: I forgot to mention that it's a wrapless cue.

I have a Rick Howard, 4pt/4v Ebony into BEM, solid ivory joint/hoppe made in '01. Had ferrules changed to 1 ivory & 1 old Westinghouse Micarta. The cue looks & plays incredible. And it's still in pristine condition !!! (not for sale)
 
Rick Howard cues are incredible.

I love playing with them. The shaft taper he uses is PERFECT, IMO. I have sent him shafts from other cues to retaper them.

I have never played with a steel joint RH cue.
