Four cues I picked at the DCC: Tad, Bender, Prewitt and Tasc.

When I headed to the DCC this year I planned on not doing a lot of cue deals. Well it went just the opposite and probably did more than I have at any other show. I gave up my snakewood JW and my Ginacue. But I picked up four really nice new cues. Three are brand new and one is 99% condition.

I have been wanting for a nice Tad for a long time. I was looking at some 8 pointers, but found a 4 pointer that was kind of different. I have never been a big purpleheart fan, but I think it looks great in this cue.

The Bender I picked up is really unique. I could have made fifty guesses and never would have guessed Bender. This is cue has a really old school look. Really sharp points, nice veneers and ringwork. All white is ivory. Love the ivory rectangles in the back.

The Ed Prewitt is by far the favorite cue I got. His stuff was really hot at the show. I can't say for sure, but IMO the Prewitts and Tads were the best sellers. The veneer colors in my EP are as nice as any cue I have ever owned. Love the blue. And of course the rings he uses are always super nice.

The fourth cue I picked is a very traditional Tascarella. It is in his shop right now getting leather put on. It is a Rosewood 4 point true Hoppe (no rubber bumper) style cue with flame veneers. Can't wait to get it back.

wow nice picked up there ....i like the bender i've been checking that bender cue from CORNERSTONE website....very sharp points...all of them looks awesome....congrats.. collections is getting bigger :)
 
Your taste is impeccable!!!. A cue collection is always in a state of flux, even if you don't want it to be. Congrats on your new cues. I saw them in person and they look even better in person. I also like blue veneers. Always have. It was nice meeting you by the way.

Dude

You are freakin killin me. Our taste are so much alike it is scary. Bill at Cornerstone has a Prewitt cue very similar to the Bender that I have my eye on. Maybe I shouldn't have said anything out of fear you may buy that cue as well. Anyhow these are 3 very fine pickups you have made. Hopefully I will get to see them in person at SBE 08. Thanks for posting up the pictures.

Is that the Bender from Cornerstone, I really liked that one when I first saw it. Good choice in cues, that Tad is unique, and Prewitts stuff is always great.
 
My favorite is the prewitt.......... the venners and the ringwork look great togather......................nice cues.
 
Great pictures of some fancy cues.
I do believe the three plus your remaining fancy cues will show well at the ICC this year.
One Problem - That Tascarella will not fit in with the rest - better have Pete send it may way after he finishes the new wrap. :D

Enjoy,
Myron
 
These are all beauties, but I especially like the Prewitt too, mainly because you don't see that many and he does such a beautiful job.

Jimmy,
Well its about time you posted pictures. I thought winter might be over before you posted your new treasures. Great cues. Enjoy the Derby City with you. You already know my favorite, so if you choose to sell it, remember I want first dibs.
