These are some pretty sweet cues!

I hope these are examples you might enjoy. They are not run-of-the-mill designs. Both are constructed differently, and the Kersh is much nicer, but I do feel that they share some similar design elements. While I generally like traditionally sharp 4 or 6 pointers, I also love odd cues and I don't know why I'm drawn to these two, but I am.
Mine:
Hagan from the sometime in the 80's

Semi-Similar to my "Moon Custom" (in contrast of the woods)
Szam more like.

Claymont,
There were only 2 cues made like mine in 1985……the first custom cue Bob made I rejected…..the stain was too light, the inlays were too small, and the red veneers weren’t bold enough.
I declined taking the 1st cue Bob made and insisted my cue be made again which Bob graciously agreed to do. I've attached photos of Schon's R Series brochure.
You may see similar R series designs but I doubt any would be the same, unless it was the first cue Bob made that I declined purchasing.

How ya doing Nick? Well i hope .Szam eh? It may well be.. hmm! I just love that one. I have a few others that are pretty fun too but I just haven't got the family together for a family photo. Some day I hope to get around to it.. I have the two i posted and among a few others,One Has and Adam blank, one with a titlist blank and one with a well documented (Chris Tate) Palmer blank (Thank you SOOO much Chris) and some with the Wico style Viking blanks. But the real Gem may be the one of a kind "65 Ebony cue with pearl rings and smaller than usual more subtle mother of pear dots and diamonds and interestingly it also has a sprayed wrap. Very unusual for 1965. Aint it fun!
take care nick.
