exactly,and anyone who can string 3-4's or even steady 2's without a spot will rob Walden or anyone else with the 5-9 and breaks on a bar table,unless there is a gaff like a funnt breaking table or bad racks or etc.

sorry but 5,6,7,8,9 and the break on a bar table? anyone who can play a little bit and doesn't scratch on the break will beat any player in the world at this game. a good breaker might win this game without ever shooting a shot after the break.

kangaroo skin and Cocobolo.i knew i should have cored that piece of Cocobolo,but i like the Cocobolo hit so much i didn't and it warped.it is my player now,when and if i ever play.

looks like Goncalo into Macassar and you are right that combination is sweet.i am taking nots on Kenny's work right now. i have never seen that combo and i really like it.

damn this place is getting dangerous.:eek: hope your eyes are OK.

sorry,i guess that was a little ambiguous.the only alternative is the waiting list.i PM'ed him to tell him about the waiting list.

yes,sorry. i sent you a PM with some alternatives.

the cue is sold,thanks for the offers guys. butt looks just like the top.

i would say the hit is medium. the plays nice and stiff,but the actual feel is about medium,not hard and not soft.

brand new cue,test hit by me only.the forearm and butt are Cooktown Ironwood,which is a rare wood from Australia that is at 19% moisture in the ground.search about the tree and it is very interesting.it is very hard,dense and heavy wood. the handle is 4-5A Quilted Maple with very nice motion...

nice cue Sheldon. for the record,i have seen some Amboyna alot stronger than other Amboyna.some of it i am sure would be fine for any part of the cue.

ya,that's not really a bad price considering the size of them and being check free.i would love to find some like that at that price. i am hoping when i cut into my log it won't be full of checks,but my guess would that it is.

i used to have one exactly like that but points were Ebony.nothing beats and ivory jointed Szam imo.it was one of the best playing cues i have ever played with.

some of it is pretty brittle and soft and i am not crazy about using it for big pieces in cues,but i think it is OK as a handle when cored big,like .875".i would probably pass on it as a forearm cored or not.

i would be embarrassed to post pictures of what i spray into after seeing all these nice set ups.

very nice cue.

i would say price and ability to find large pieces without checks. i would hate to see the price on a nice 18" piece of that stuff. i have a couple of logs i bought,but i have no idea what i will get out of when i get into it.

nice looking cue.hard to beat Ebony/Tulipwood

i have a cheap 4x8 that is vinyl.i bought it on Ebay and never used it.there is a little dry glue in the tubes up yop that is OK for an older cue,but i bought it for my cues and i am scared that the glue might scratch new finish since it is a little soft. it may be completely fine for any...
