This was one of my first cue. Cue #23 is my guess.
I sold this to a friend my first year of building. We were playing a fun ring game for $1 on the 5/9 and he missed a shot. He hits the cue on the ground.
I've fixed it twice for free and I think I'll charge him this time. The second time I fixed it I wanted to use a Phenolic butt cap. After a long talk he promised not to slam the cue again and I installed the Coco again. Against his wishes I'll use Phenolic this time.
Most of my first 50 cues were sold to friends or people that live in Spokane. I see them whenever I go out. They love them and I hate them. The short points, fat rings, and strange wood combos say nothing but beginner builder.
New builders:
Make the points long!
Thin petite rings look better.
Line up the rings.
Use woods that are proven to look good in a cue.
I had a customer bring me a branch from a Cedar tree in his yard. If we had an ugly cue contest this cue could win. I hate it when somebody start talking about my cues and he pulls this cue out. The ugly ones will haunt you.

I have a fit if I accidently hit my cue against the table ! I never ever took my bad playing out on my cue's or equiptment. I guess Im just funny like that and take care of everything I own <<ED
almost).If I hit my cue aginst the floor like that every time I mised a ball I'd do it about 8 times a game(if I'm playing 9 ball)and if I bumped mine aginst the table I'd be ready to tear the table down:grin:
