There's a bunch of Facebook cue experts acting like this is how every one is. I looked at quite a few yesterday and didn't see another from this Era.

Yes, mine is a 1972-1980 era tulipwood JW and the points are rounded.

Wasn't the norm though, correct?

And how would these be valued vs traditional points? Thanks

Not the norm yet, became the norm in the 80s

Less valuable by a country mile than sharp points, until he started making them much fancier later

All his Tulsa era stuff(74-78) had sharp points. After he moved to Colo. and later in Austin he was doing a lot of CNC based work. I've never seen a round point sideways W in person.

I also have one with sharp points which is the only cue w/no butt sleeve he ever did; I will take and post some pictures of these tomorrow.

Is it one of the cues with a buttcap all the way to the handle?

Yes, Bill said it was a special order and the only one he ever did.

I either owned it or a duplicate, I loved that cue. PM me if you ever get sick of it
