At the time I did not know snakewood had a reputation of being difficult. I cored it and added it to the butt design. Fortunately it turned out well.
They came out great! Nice work.
Back in my day a sneaky pete was a plain house cue with a joint on it. Now days you got purple heart and steel joints and white butt caps. Its like people choose to identify their cue as a sneaky pete no matter what it looks like. And now they call them fancy sneaky Pete's and all kinds of different classifications. There's only 2, it's either a sneaky pete or it isn't.OK, apparently a sneaky can be a lot of things since the term originally caught on.
But not a wrap.
No way.

IMNSHO a sneaky can have subtle embellishment, must be FS but no veneers, and overall should be (at least if you squint with dark shades on) mistakable for a plain FS bar cue by some general public bar banger type person. A good sneaky will fool a decent player that is not paying attention, only at first glance.
The Heubler Sneaky repair turned out magnificent. It was a very creative repair that tremendously improved
Thank you for your kind words. I repaired it just to see if I could. Conversion cues and fixing broken cues nobody wants has been a great way to practice. I still have it and I agree with the outcome. I love how it came out so for now it is a keeper.
Chris, the last time we talked you mentioned you had some cues listed for sale, please provide the link. I found a few on your site but it sounded like you have several more when we talked a couple months ago. Thx, Shooter08.
I only have a few Hightower Cues for sale. But I am willing to sell most cues out of my collection. Look under Cueman profile. click on Find then click on All Threads Started by Cueman. Then look on pages 4, 5 and 6 and see if you have interest in any of them. I put a lot of my collection up on AZ back in 2013 on those pages. I am not taking orders for any cues unless it is something I already have going, as I have become extremely slow on putting out cues and only build a few a year now.
Apparently I am not very smart, not finding anything that says "Find" to click on when I click on your "cueman" name below the pic above the gold and silver member status labels. What am I doing wrong, lol.
Once that shows Cueman again click on it and then it will pull up a page with the Find word on it.
I’d like to have one like that ebony cue. Looks great.Well if it's open season and anything can be a sneaky, here are a couple of my plain FS 6 pointers.
