First From a Master Cuemaker...

[DogLoop]

Gotta start somewhere.
This isn't Dave Kikel's first cue, just the first with points.
Check out his letter of authenticity ( handwritten):

Enjoy.

This cue has an interesting story behind it as the original owner and the cuemaker are friends.
I'll save that for another time.

thanks for sharing

I think it's cool, but I'm biased.

Very cool Ivan
The Kikel jump break that I sold to Bud was possibly the first KQ j/b.
We didn't get a letter, but Dave could barely remember making it.
Nice find, since you're living down in KQ land.

Thanks Ted. It's one I wanted to show off for a while.

Same original owner's cue:

Pernambuco, purple heart, holly and ebony...

I didn't see that J/B, but that 4 pointer that Will (and I) had a few years ago listed as Dave's 1st cue with his own points and a wrap (purpleheart 4 pointer) was actually Dave's 1st (pantograph) cue w/ points and a wrap.

I'm 100% positive that this one is the reason that Dave went to the pantograph due to the troubles inherent in lining up points done on a router.

Man who cut points with router accomplish anything. :smile:
