FS-Very Nice Skip Weston - More Pics
Well, as much as this pains me, I am offering up my beautiful Skip Weston cue for sale. I am in the process of ordering a new, slightly fancier Skip and cannot afford to get one without parting with the other.
From what I have been told, this cue has a few 'firsts' for a Skip cue. It was the first cue he did with an ebony-nose. The very first of his SW-inspired designs. And the first and only 8 point cue that Skip had done with 'veneered' shadow points. Because of the way Skip does his 'veneers', this actually qualifies as a 32 point cue. Pretty amazing. This cue was also photographed for Skip's entry into the Blue Book.
* I have confirmation that this cue IS going to be featured in the BB 3rd Edition...twice! It will be featured in a pic of examples of his work, as well as a pricing example in the pricing section for Skip's cues.
The cue has been very well taken care of. Cue was refinished, leather wrap reconditioned, and playing shaft bleached, cleaned, and resealed by Scot @ Proficient about 3 weeks ago. Cue is pristine. I know everyone says their cue plays 'jam up'...why wouldn't you if you were trying to sell? But this one really and truly does play fantastically.
Here are the specs:
Overall length: 58"
Weight: 19.25 oz
Butt: Gabon Ebony/Birdeye Maple with 3 rings of Purpleheart/Ebony/Pudumuju separating the Ebony and Maple. Black phenolic butt cap.
Wrap:Semi-smooth black leather
Forearm:Gabon ebony nose/4 hi & 4 lo Birdseye maple points w/some quilting
'Veneers': 3 'veeners' of Pudumuju/Purpleheart/Ebony on both the hi & lo points
Ringwork: Maple/Ebony Railroad track @ A,B,C,D, and E
Shafts: Hard Rock Maple x2, one unplayed.
Joint: 3/8 - 10 black phenolic
The last retail quoted to me on this cue was 1800.00 a year ago. That was if Skip were to replace the cue; he is not likely to repeat the points in this forearm, as they were very labor-intensive, given the way he does his points. A very special and drop-dead gorgeous cue in the hand. Other pics of this cue were submitted by classiccues in the 'Post Your Skip Weston' thread in the Gallery Forum.

* I need to clarify the following.. it is his first 8 point full veneer cue, its his first ebony nose / birdseye point cue. Not his first ebony nose cue. Thanks to Joe for keeping me straight.
BTW - My ebay feedback rating is 100%, user name is ridewiththewind, since 1999. Thanks!
