Very sharp! Great colors!!:thumbup:
of course i like it
its my favorite style cue for playing
the color choice was his,i would never have thought of it,but wow!!!!
The only thing i might like some mother of pearl diamonds and dots in the points
What do you guys think?
It really is a quality cue,this will surely become a favorite among players and collectors alike
I am glad I got in on the ground floor,#5 for Dean
Look at those points,long,sharp and touching at the wrap.The 3 marks I really like.
And that straight grain clear maple
You guys can take it to the bank,we are going to be hearing good things from this canadian

Love the points, great blues, must really be stricking in person
Just to clarify for xpat cause I have seen the cue in person the outer veneer before the black is actually a vibrant purple. The pics show it as white, light blue, royal blue, black but it is actually white, light blue, purple, black. The cue is just stunning. Congrats to Justin and I know Dean will be very very happy once he gets it. The cues coming out of this shop hit a ton people. Get in on the ground floor like Dean did
wow!love the color combinaton of veneers:smile:
what do you call that brown weave thing at the handle?thanks
I believe (correct me if i'm wrong) it's called a buzz ring. It's a small piece of phenolic that is installed in between the handle and the forearm to reduce the "buzziness" or unwanted vibration which some cues develop or just have, which stems from that area of the cue.
i think some cuemakkers put phenolic so that the wod of thehandle is not glued to the wood of the forearm directly
balabushka did this because the gles available in his era were not as effective putting wood next to wood,many follow his lead in this practice today
jerry franklin differed ,saying this merely exposes twice as many surfaces to the epoxy and increased liability to the break down of the glued or epoxy area.
therefore southwest does not follow this practice.
i suspect tradition is is the main reason today as the new epoxies make the seal just as strong next to the wood
i could be wrong ,but this is what jerry told me

If the epoxies didn't work well on wood to wood, wouldn't they probably have added that phenolic ring to the bottom of the cue where the butt met the handle, as well as where the forearm met the handle, since both are wood to wood?
