FS: Ebony Scruggs Titlist conversion

[eeng168]

no problem I feel like it's gonna be my next player but will have the cue tomorrow.

Call me.
Did you get a hold of the guy with the Viguera cue?

Vass

I searched for the number but have not found it yet, I will keep trying.

Guess I should have bought it when I had a chance. I hit so well, he asked for $1,000 with 3 shafts but it was SO heavy...probably close to 19.5-20 oz.

I second (or third) the opinion that it is Macassar ebony. Still ebony, though. Beautiful cue.

When I was still making cues, Macassar ebony was a wood I wanted to use but just never got around to it; mostly used Gabon ebony, black as night.

Nice cue

Sweet price. Good chance not ebony. Good chance Vass might have found his player for many years. INCONCIEVABLE !!
Call me Mr Vass and I will answer your PM questions.
Your bud

it looks like Macassar to me.[/url]

I owned this cue when it was a 1-piece - it's normal ebony, but as Joe said, it has that thing in the handle. The points are a solid grey-black.

I also have a Macassar ebony cue, and it looks totally different - brown figuring swirled in, as opposed to the almost whitish heartwood/sapwood that Joe refers to. I also had a 1-piece from the same batch that was purpleheart with heartwood/sapwood - one of the points was half purple/half tannish-white. Pics of both cues are on my website in the Model 26 1/2 section:
