Blackboar excellent condition

This is an incredible cue, just fantastic. Whoever buys this will have the ultimate playing cue (except for my rs3 with ferrule-less shafts, which will go to the grave with me). I'm sure there is deep sorrow at selling this, but the best of luck to you with your sale.
:p
 
sweet black boar. I like the fact that it has all the rings in all the right places. tony didn't skimp out on this one.
 
black boar

This is a very nice cue. I don't know a lot about black boar cues besides they are very expensive and that Tony has done some outstanding work on cues. Can you tell me why they are worth so much? I don't want to insult anyone I just don't know a lot about them and I'd like to learn a little more about them and how long they have been building cues. Can you tell me why they have such a high value for something so simple and what makes them so much different from the top cue builders such as dennis s or balabushka.


Thanks.
 
if you haven't sold it, send me some details and more pics. i am seriously interested and will pay using paypal or cash.

Boars cost alot because Tony has alot of overhead in his shop, he dosent work from home. He has a huge nut on his machinery. and he builds 7-10 cues a year, so it get expensive fast, real fast. He has $1500 in rent in each cue, twice that in employees. He aint getting rich, he is fair with his pricing-its just expensive to do it the way he does it. I cant fault a man for that.


He monitors his humidity constantly, he has humidifiers and de-humidefires to keep things stable. He buys and holds wood forever to make sure it stays straight, his tollarances are among the closest to perfection thats possible with imperfect materials-thus he has alot of waste. He just spent $12,000 for some German leather treatment stuff so his new wraps will be better-its a 10 part sysyem of fluids. he is insane, his passion is engeneering the perfect cue, the art work is secondary. His Hero is Gus Szam-Tony told me that 2 days ago. Tony's cues are like no other, like gus. Thats why they fetch big $$$ and there arnt to many.

I thought it was all hype until I educated myself, Barry and Art Cantando are the only other 2 cue makers who IMO build cues that play like a boar. Sugartree will in time, he is getting close and is young.

bumping for really nice cue. mine is almost its twin. (no rings just under the wrap and mop dots between the diamonds as seen in my avatar). If i was shopping and had the money to burn id love to reunite these 2 cues. Worth every penny. Its hard to even compare the fit and finish on these cues to most other cue makers, and they play absolutely lights out.
It truly must have been a tough decision to let it go and put it up for sale.
best of luck to you and your sale.:thumbup:
