Another shady auction (Joey Gold/Cog)

cog

I noticed this auction also and thought it was real shady! Wrong rings, it's got cnc points, and one shaft. definitlly shady. I was wondering myself about the "SD" comissioned statement.
 
That's the most bogus COG representation I've seen.

Joey would never let an aardvark like that escape from his shop...
 
The pin looks a little funky compared to the real Cog's. Maybe it's the picture but it looks way too short... Here is the real deal.

destroyer, "it's got cnc points"

Joe used CNC/CAD/CAM machines exclusively. I've never seen a sharp edged inlay from Joe. And that's about the only knock against him too.

if you said that to Joe he would enlighten you as to why he used radiused edges for these inlays which was because after allot of research he found out that the inlays didn't look as nice if they weren't radiused. as he put it to me, and i whole heartedly agree, that some design work would suffer from making everything sharp. also by the way your statement that "Joe used CNC/CAD/CAM machines exclusively" is a bit misleading. his only "CNC" machine was a milling machine which was used for parts (inlays) cutting and pocketing. every other aspect of his cue making was performed in the same manner as any other maker. he had 2 very high end lathes, his own designed shaft machines amongst a myriad of other machines. as for this cue it doesn't look like something Joe would do but then again i don't know for sure.
 
Hey Skins! I had you in mind when I wrote that. After our conversation a couple of months ago about all this stuff. That's why I threw in the 'bout the only knock against him'. We all know Joe did excellent work, and not only visually!
 
points.

when i said cnc points, i meant most or all cogs have floating points or floating inlays. atleast all the ones i've seen.

From what I've seen and know: I've seen only one with spliced points. NOT LIKE THIS ONE. When he'd use indexed rings, they'd be at all the appropriate spots A,B,C,D,E. I want to see more of the ringwork and the pin, but I think we're all in agreement that it's on the bogus side. I just want better pictures for laughs.
 
I seem to recall that Joe made some pointed cues with different rings before he went to the silver index rings. I was one of the very first people to see Joe's first cue. It was Bacote I believe, and did not look much like what we have all come to know as Joe's work, aside from the taper, joint screw, and length of the parts, which Joe never changed.

I do doubt that Joe stamped SD on any of his cues ever, but back when he started, he may have done some things for the right offer that he would never repeat, due to financial considerations. The only way to be sure on this is to ask Joe Gold.

yea the only one i know he did was one where Joel Hercek had made the full splice blank. from what i can remember it had a blue veneer in it and the inlays in the sleeve were from the sleeve in his "LOGO" point design. i remember when this cue was being built. i asked him if he could get me a blank as well and he said he could but i never took him up on it......DUMMY!!!! :(

yes. his early cues were made with wood indexed rings kinda similar to South West's but different.

Sorry to dig up old threads, but: I remember being there when Joe walked into the Chicago Billiard Cafe with his first cue and DPK. While Joe was showing his cue to Frank and everyone, I was sitting with David looking at all his old plans for cues. Joe wanted $600 for the cue, which at the time, I thought was exorbitant. I should have just whipped it out, ahh hindsight...
