Toward the end of last year I looked around for a cue builder who made cues with an all wood joint. I ran across Ron Kilby's Website and was taken with his description of his cues and his general philosophy of cue building. If you are not familiar with him, he has built mostly carom cues but builds pool cues as well. Here is a link to some information on his Website: http://www.caromcues.com/WhyKilbyCue.htm
I bought a cue from Ron and liked how it played, so I ordered a second shaft. I played with the cue for about a week and it played fine, but you guys know what happened...I put it in the closet to play with other cues and haven't used it since, so it is in near mint condition.
There are ivory ferrules on both shafts. The cue is 58" and a little under 19 ounces (butt = 14.76, shaft1 = 3.96, shaft 2 = 4.03). Shafts are about 12.75 mm. The cue is straight together and apart. Joint protectors are included.
Cue has been sold.
Here are three pics of the cue. I did notice that there are areas on the butt where the finish is more like I would expect on a house cue than a custom cue, but Ron didn't make the butt, he uses butts he gets from some company in Canada.
There is a Triangle tip on one shaft and I believe it is a Moori medium on the other shaft.

I also have a Kilby. Very happy with it and with Ron's service as well.
Lotsa cue for $400. 2 shafts, j/ps @ $350 is a real steal deal.
I've also got one of Ron's pool cues, and can attest to Ron's excellent workmanship and quality. He puts a very nice parabolic taper on his pool cue shafts that produces a very solid communicative hit. Recommended.
