A tribute to Frank Paradise

To my knowledge, there aren't many cues made in the style of Frank Paradise today. Here is my latest creation, and the craftsmanship of Jerry Rauenzahn. White and black joint collars, Titlist color veneers in the points, linen wrap, a very simple ring design in the butt sleeve, and a cream-colored butt plate with no bumper. Enjoy!

Jerry R Tribute

Awesome classic you have Sir. Jerry does beautiful work for sure!
Wish I had the Paradise Cues I have had in my hands from the Yesteryear!
Enjoy, and thanks for sharing.
 
Very Nice

Hope to see it tomorrow if you come up to Champions...Jerry Rauenzahn is the man!
 
Thank you all for the kind comments, I know you all like the classic cue designs. For those wondering, the joint collars, rings, and butt plate are made of Juma. Jerry and I discussed many options, and thought Juma was the best for the old look with a semblance of patina.

great cue

This is really nice. Paradise cues were classics and this one captures the essence with the bumperless butt plate. I really like it.
Congratulations.
 
Elegant design and beautiful execution ... a wonderful combination. The cue really speaks of the era that inspired it. Great choice of materials too. Congrats on a special cue! Hope to see it in person someday.
