Wow, I am blown away by all of these cues, the maple window cue is my favorite, I love it! :smile:
 
Another flame veneer 4 point -R- beauty. Again, all by hand, and all white is ivory.

One more -R- for the NEW YEAR, Ebony Titlist ivory Hoppe, Harvey Martin ivory joint on both sides, not surprisingly this cue has extreme feedback to the player, old growth shaft, and old growth rock maple forearm.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010

Last shots for the night, an -R- Tribute between a pair of old Brunswick restored 26 1/2's, the one with Henry Hafer in the MOP wedge is a Rambow we believe is from 1912-1915.

Okay the maple window cue is now my 2nd favorite, the ebony MOP wedge cue is my new favorite, absolutely awesome cue. :thumbup:
 
Almost forgot the -R- ebony Bushka Tribute Titlist conversion. One of my friends played with it and wouldn't give it back. It had the "HIT" he was looking for.

Snakewood -R- This cue is much nicer in your hands than these pics show. The grain in the wood is superb, veneers are awesome, and ivory & MOP inlays are tight.

This ebony/ivory Hoppe 60" cue was the first custom cue Mr. Jerry and I collaborated on. I love the hit and balance.

One of the many Titlist conversions done by Mr. Jerry -R-. Look how the grain really POPS in the butt sleeve.

Before and after pics of a 1968 Paradise Titlist once owned by Pete Margo with Letter of Authenticity signed by Pete Margo refurbished by -R-.

Here's an 8 point Szamboti flame veneer that is the BIG BROTHER to the 4 pointer I showed off earlier. It's my daily player. Again, all white is ivory. This is my all time favorite playing Rauenzahn cue; wonderful hit with great feedback!!

One of my all time favorites done by -R-; a Palmer Model J Tribute. Look at the "Points of Perfection" in the traditional Szamboti colors. The lizard wrap really sets this cue off.

Another simple -R- 4 pointer with "Points of Perfection." This cue looks much nicer up close. Black leather wrap sets this baby off.

Another Rauenzahn design with staggered box work and inlays in the butt sleeve. Jerry Rauenzahn's wood choice is very unique and striking. Very well balanced. This cue hits extremely solid with the big SS 3/8-10 pin.

Look how beautifully Jerry -R-'s "Points of Perfection" line up, and view again how clean and clear the glue lines are. AMAZING!!! The veneer work is some of the best -R- has ever done.

Enjoy,

John

Another very strong player with Jerry Rauenzahn's famous 1/2 joint stainless steel joint including "Points of Perfection" in the traditional Szamboti colors. Cue has SS 5/16-14 pin and traditional old school inlays.

This cue plays unreal.

Here's another Titlist conversion Mr. Jerry -R- made. Notice the way -R- was able to get the colors of the veneers to vividly come alive. They were not nearly this bright when the cue was sent to him. The points are perfectly even and the veneers are as clean as you will ever see in an old Titlist cue. He also used a SS joint with a 5/16-14 pin with 0.050" nickel/silver rings that are no longer available (darn it!!). When I tighten down the shaft onto the joint, the last full turn is very snug, just like several Tascarella's I've owned. I love that feel, hit, and "ping" sound. It sure makes for a responsive hit. Also, cue has an ivory Hoppe ring, and full 13+ mm shafts with ivory ferrules.


Enjoy
