Here's a beautiful Ariel Carmeli Brunswick Tru-Balance conversion cue. Weighs 19.21oz. Has 12.9mm white maple shaft with Ivor-X ferrule. High-figure birdseye rear and dashed deco rings, 3/8-10 flat-face joint. Has high gloss finish. More like a full splice custom cue than a pete! $300.00 plus $12.00 shipping in continental USA. Verified PayPal or money order. Thanks for looking.

Not sure about this one. Looks like some type of mahogany to me. The other Tru-Balance cues from this group (at the very least 50 years old) are Brazilian rosewood (almost done and magnificent wood), curly purpleheart, 2 other unidentified rosewoods. Thanks for the compliment, I relay that to Ariel.

Hello Martin, If you keep posting these beautiful Carmeli Tru Balance Conversion cues I may be forced to buy one. It's aweful having such an addiction.

Hey Scott...you've been driving that tractor too much! I think you're a more a discerning collector than an addict! Okay, so you have 189 cues.:eek:

I purchased the Tru-Balance cues about 4 years ago. They came out of a Masonic Lodge somewhere back East (New Jersey, I think). There were 7 cues total. Ariel put a lot of work into them for what they sell for. Of the 5 left, I like the red-orange rosewood ones the best.

Hello Martin,
Hope all is well. It is hard to believe that you have any of the Tru Balance cues still available, they are without a doubt the absolutely best cue for the money, the fit and finish and the feel are worth a lot more than your price. Ariel's workmanship is top shelf.

Until that time, Scott
 
Thanks for the kind words Scott--I'll pass them along to Ariel. Glad you like the one Tru-Balance cue you purchased not long ago. Without the help of Ariel's low dollar apprentice they wouldn't have got made! :rolleyes: The 10 or so 2 shafted AC merry widow cues I have on my site are also excellent cue dollar value IMO. Best,

Martin
