$300. Cue was originally a 20 oz Dufferin. Single shaft with a black collar, piloted 5/16x14. Wood is a highly-figured brown/dark brown vertical striped rosewood?, and it has a dark reddish-brown 1/2" phenolic butt-collar. The shaft has a phenolic tip and a slight wobble that definitely does not affect play. The player who owned this once beat me in a 4-game 9-ball race in about 10 minutes using these cues.
I also have his matching Dufferin conversion playing cue which was made by Kevin Wright - the butt from this J/B screws into Kevin's cue for an extension. If interested in that cue, let me know - it has a shinier finish, but I plan to refinish it as well with Tung Oil. Both cues have rather thick butts, cut above the Dufferin maple-leaf insert and barely taken down. The Kevin Wright playing cue is straight and hits lights-out - so nice that I might make it my playing cue if I have no takers on it. Kevin has been my only cuesmith and has an eye for detail that is un-matched IMO. The two cues make a nice sneaky-pete pair at $400 shipped.
The Tibbitts J/B cue looks fine and was probably originally finished by Danny with Tung Oil. No pics because it is undergoing a refinish with Tung Oil and should be 99% when done - ask Ken if you have questions about the Tung Oil refinishes I do. PM for pics of cues in whatever transitional state they happen to be in at the time (they will both be fine as hell when I'm done)
