I just got these two new players in from Jeff Olney. They are so new, you can still smell the finish curing. Both of these are super looking cues, and will be even better players. For the handle under the wraps, Jeff used purpleheart to make for an even better hit. Both cues are signed "Olney 07" above the butt cap.

Cue 1: Birdseye forearm and butt, brown/white linen wrap, 3/8x10 w/w joint, black phenolic joint collars and butt cap with silver beauty rings, thin black phenolic rings above and below the wrap, butt weight: 15.5 ounces, shaft: 3.9 ounces, 13mm, LBM, Moori.
Sold!! Thanks!

Cue 2: Curly maple forearm and butt, black/white linen wrap, 3/8x10 w/w joint, black phenolic joint collars and butt cap with silver beauty rings, thin black phenolic rings above and below the wrap, butt weight: 15.2 ounces, shaft: 3.9 ounces, 13mm, LBM, Triangle.

SOLD!! Thanks!

I've played with one of Jeffs BEM cues w/the purpleheart handle & they are as solid as any cue I've played with. Great cue for a very reasonable price!

Thanks...these are really sweet cues. Ask anyone who has picked up one of these Olney players. Money very well spent, IMO.

Hey Bama
Nice looking Olneys you got there. Is the market dead on cues right now or what. I`ve dropped the price on my BRAND NEW UNHIT Frey sneaky twice and not even a low baller chimmed in. Good luck on your sale your track record is awsome so I don`t think you`ll have any problems selling them.
 
purple heart

P. h. is one is straight wood i had let it set 8 years before the 2 nd cut. alot has been aging for 8 to 12 years i was amazed how straight it stayed. also about p.h. when used in the handle it hardens and stiffen the hit compared the hard maple. this two cues have some 10 year old p. h. handle stock. jeff o

I don't understand. There's purple heart in the handle?
 
The handle is made with purpleheart as Jeff just mentioned. In other words the area where the wrap is.

Yes, under the wrap, Jeff used purpleheart instead of a cheap piece of hard rock maple. As he stated, purpleheart is a much more stable wood, and it provides a superior hit. I also know of other cuemakers who use purpleheart for the handle wood. Mike Capone is one who comes to mind. Even though it costs the cuemaker more, it makes for a better playing, more stable cue.

1 question Bama
How much weight (if any) can be taken out of the birdseye cue?

The black wrapped cue has a very light bolt in it, so not much could be removed. The brown wrapped cue has a .7 ounce bolt, so you could remove about that amount if you switched it for an aluminum bolt.

These cues have been SOLD!! Hope to have some more great Jeff Olney cues in the near future!
