Just thought I’d share… Al Romero Sneaky Pete. Probably 15 years old but never used. Made from an ebony Dufferin house cue. Black ring & furrules. Not for sale.

Very nice! These Silver Leafs have become very popular. I have a small collection of old Duffs that I hope to convert after retirement. A couple of figured Green Leafs and Ebony cues that will be awesome. Thanks for the pic.
 
Very nice, I have converted and owned a few DUFS I think that your ebony DUF is my favorite and I never owned one yet.
 
nice cue, maybe called a sneaky pete ,but certainly isnt one, as it will draw more attention than a more expensive cue.
 
Very nice Duff. Here is one I bought in here in 2015 from Rascal Doc. Very nice silver leaf ebony Baxter conversion. Very solid cue.

Always wanted to try a Lil Al (y)

Thank you. Cell phones and the internet have made sneaking up with a sneaky Pete years gone by. Solid cue made by a solid cue maker/legend.
 
I found three older Dufferins in my shop that I will convert in a few years after retirement.
I might farm it out if I find the right cue maker, this thread has gained me a few more names but Ernie G out of Denver is high on my list. I may also have room in my shop soon to get a proper lathe and spin these myself.

One Macassar Ebony, Silver leaf. Two more that have nice Maple forearms. One has Birdseye and the other has very nice figure, pictures and poor camera don't do these justice.

Very nice! Thanks for sharing! A few years after retirement! What do you do now? I planned on making cues in retirement also… five years into retirement and haven’t started yet! 🙄 I have pretty much all the equipment but still haven’t found the time! 😤

I work for the government. In my spare time I do most of the "guy things". I make a few cues but its small time.;)
 
I also have a true sneakie made from a red leaf Duff house cue. The biggest challenge was getting the points close to even. The cue maker that made mine swapped out the bumper and the shaft has a harder ferrule. The joint is plain so unless you look close it appears to have come off the wall.
