Hey guys,

that´s my first try at this little game, and i think it´s an easy one ;)
But give me a chance.

It´s a cue of my collection, i never showed of pics here at the forum,
so hopefuly you will need some minutes to get it. :confused:
I realy love that cue, the colours fit perfectly (the wrap too), and the points are supersharp.

Have fun,
Erich

I agree with hangemhigh....it looks like a Mottey.

Great looking cue by the way. I like the way the wrap and burlwood compliment each other.
 
i am having trouble seeing but the points appear to be recuts,if that is right then i don't think it is a mottey.Regardless I really like the cue,it looks like a top notch cue but I can't recognize the maker.Wild guess..Skip Weston

You all are great in this game, i knowed that before :thumbup:
But Hangemhigh, that´s ridiculious :mad:
I posted that cue and two minutes later you had the right answer.
It´s realy hard to believe, that so many of you look at a cue and know it.
That´s realy amazing for me, and for the ones who came up with James White - as long as i now,
this ONE is a Recut Mottey, but how you are able to saw the Recut on the pics - help me :confused:

Last but not least here are four more macro pics to look at :thumbup:
Like i said before - i love that cue and the inlays as rings.

Thanks to all,
Erich

Thanks for your kind words and i will try it short and with my bad english. :thumbup:

Veneered Points means that the forearm gets a v-cut, and one square of wood (with some veneers allready glued on the square) will fill in the cut !

"Recut" means exactly that - recut !
On that Mottey an ebony square went in the v-cut of the forearm, then the ebony piece was v-cutted again,
and the next square (here maple) was put in the Ebony, now another v-cut was made in the maple point and the last point square was put in.
In that case each points consits of 3 Points :eek:

Hope i told it the right way,
Erich
 
So that is the differance between recut and spliced? They look the same but a differant method.

Nice game do it some more. Mix in some older production cues if you have them to throw the scent off of these cue hounds.

Recut = no actual veneers and no vertical lines where the other woods come to a point above the main point wood, all woods in the point assemby are solid, single pieces of wood

Spliced or mitered = line where veneers meet and are glued together (these best spliced points are when these glue lines are super tight and barely visible)

Paul was a one of the earlier cuemakers to get into recuts back in the early-mid 90s.....his and Jim's have always been right up there with the best.

my guess would be mottey prolley made in march of 2007. somtime the signature will be a dead give away! unless it says george balabushka in between the points then its prolly not! LOL love you eric your the man!:smile:
 
Thank you Sean for your nice explanation, and thanks to Bill for the kind words. :thumbup:
I put the Signature pics on after most of you got the right Maker, and other were realy close. ;)
But i hope all of you like the cue and the pics i made.
Thx to all,
Erich
