Just finished this one up.

Here is one I just finished up the other day. The wood is from Hangemhigh, all of the old growth Maple. This cue is a tribute to a JW a buddy of mine has. This cue also features my first metal joint ( yay ). Birdseye maple front, Birdseye maple butt sleeve. The handle is some old Maple from Hangemhigh, two old growth shafts. Both shafts have Ivory ferrules and Emerald tips. Irish linen white w/ green spec wrap, 3/8-11 brass pin, flat faced joint. Stainless steel sleeved over phenolic. Delrin butt cap. Both shafts are 13.25 and the cue weighs 18.3 oz. I now have a new player. Thanks for looking, any advice would be appretiated.

Hahaha, I think the only advice you need is to keep building cues like this.
Nice job.
I'm really liking the white linen with the green specs more and more lately. Gives the new cues an old school look.

That is a great job! I have been patiently waiting for cues to surface with that fantastic 30 year old wood. I know the cue sings, the wood was destined for a great cue build.

Thanks for all of the kind words, and yes it does hit nicely. I have retired my Phillippi to use this one.

Phillippi retired? That says something.. You can sell that one to me if you like (pics?)!
I was hustled via eBay on a very beautifull Phillippi once ($ 625, was never Shipped!).
I'll see if I can find pictures of it..

Great job on this Cue! Although pics are not very good it's very shiny!
How did you achieve this? What kind of Varnish+Polishing did you use?

Keep up the good work!

I use a Super glue finish, then I polish out with Barringers System 5 polishing system.
