I am unsure. However I am leaning away from it. The graining doesnt look right and it is rife with birdseye. I could be wrong though.

It plays great. Its the first ebony cue I have ever tried that I found the hit to be acceptable. It doesnt seem to have that heavy hit that a lot of ebony cues have.

That is just beautiful. Unusual as well.

Dark, highly-figured, wood with a light speckled wrap just does it for me. Beauty!

I owned this cue about a year ago. It's a very, very nice TS cue. Solid player.

Did you have Tim build it or did it come your way?

I had considered bring it back to Tim and have him change the wrap and put some ivory inlays in it. However the more I look at it I feel any modification would take away from the cue.

Beautiful burl cue

Nice looking Scruggs cue Sev.
Are you selling it?

How about posting some of the conversion cues that you've designed over the years.
It's been a while since I've seen them, and I just remember how interesting they were.
It would be nice to see them again.
