Dave Kikel!!!
Pau Ferro
Desert Ironwood
East Indian Rosewood
African Blackwood
Dave designed these four cues as a tribute to two early cuemakers, Frank Paradise, i.e., Paradise Cues, and Eugene Balner, who worked with Paradise. Later Eugene went out on his own and became known as Frank Palmer, i.e. Palmer Cues. Both used pearlized plastic and mother-of-pearl extensively in their cue designs as he did in these cues.
Dave did a great job of matching the wraps and the colors of the veneers to the various colors of pearlized plastic. He also used old Blue Mountain and Hurlbert linens for the wraps, which is no longer available. Everything about these cues is reminiscent of the old Paradises and Palmers.
Enjoy the pics!
