Simple, straight to the point. Ebony and Narra bees wing.

Beautiful cue Michael. At first glance I thought it might be tulipwood, so when I read it was not I did a quick search.

I learned there is quite a difference in Narra and Bees wing Narra.

I've always liked the ebony and tulipwood combination but the Narra Bees Wing / ebony combination is stunning, in person it must really be special.

Well done!

Wow Michael,

All three of those cues are incredible. Lots of cool little details that make the overall look of the cues super cool.

Thanks for sharing.

I have a Bob Fry purple heart sneaky pete, great playerView attachment 776525
I have a passion for purple heart. Such an insanely nice bit of wood. Sheened up right, I could get lost in those colours. From Glossy dark maroon, to a more matte lilac. It's the reason I fell in love with the Vigus I have. So glad I saw it in person before purchasing, otherwise I would have left it be. Luckily, I happened to be in TW and able to meet up with the seller. He was also honest, clearly passionate about the game and a lovely bloke. Which always helps :)

I like it myself but have to sell it due to a copay for surgery. I have it on ebay at the moment, if you know anyone interested in it. It's an older one but I don't think it was ever played that much it's that clean. Thanks!

Welcome to DM the link to me so I can have a good look :D Sorry you have to let it go. Hope the surgery goes well!
 
Wrapless, simplicity, and economical? Wisconsin company Schmelke has no-splice, no-veneer cues of shedua ($110), goncola alves ($155), or rosewood ($150; out of stock). Or go simplicity with a spliced, not cheap, cocobolo into kielwood forearm ($475).

Also below is an earlier Schmelke that was on Facebook with a finish glossier than used at Schmelke today (at least that was told to me in another AZ post; maple?

):

Did you get one finally, or are you still being angry about their website?🤣

Hmmmm, I have to first sell a few cues....... But, then, yes, I will. You can't know exactly what you are getting, but at that price, its worth the gamble. Also, even if the newer ones are not so glossy, maybe I could fix that.....

Cue stick, joint protectors, a tip protector, glove, and plastic sleeve.

Vintage 4-piece pool cue stick; 21.8 oz, 56", yellow, BEAUTIFUL
 
Here are two that I made several years ago. I'm working on putting some stuff together to start making again. We'll see how it goes. These need to be refinished.
