McDermott E-H1, E-H2, and E-H3

[Chopdoc]

Nothing high end or custom, but I think it's nice to have these three in such nice condition.

You can see from the bumper and logo that the E-H2 is a later model, it also does not have the tulipwood joint ring of the earlier models, and it has a linen wrap.

The E-H3 happens to have some really nice forearm wood, which looks even better than this group picture shows. I can show pictures of that with better lighting if anybody is interested. Lots of figure, eyes, and chatoyance. The other 2 are better than these pictures show, but nowhere near how nice the E-H3 is.

Shafts for all 3 are pristine.

Nice. The third cue does have a really nice forearm!
I was always a 4 point with veneers kind of guy, but I’ve come to enjoy a plain Birdseye forearm.

I am the same. I prefer veneered points. Lately I have been attracted to cues with ebony points and no veneers, as well as a few like this.

This is a perhaps better picture of that forearm wood. Not bad for a lower end production cue. You would think they might have pulled that piece for use in one of their higher priced cues, but here it is.

That is a pretty special piece of Birdseye!
Here’s a Viking with a more typical forearm, but I like the simplicity.
