Information about Mariposa Cues
from what I know, the cue I purchased is about 10-12 years old. Kyle produced cues form 1994-1996, And he did his apprentice under Joe Gold. The cue I have is a rare cue as it has a birdseye maple handle, not a wrap. And very few of these cues were made that way. I talk with Kyle about a week ago, and he has begin making cues again, he told me he has about ten blanks that have been seasoning since about 96, one which I've spoken for already, So if you are interested give him a call, he can be contacted at (847)989-5953 Also on page 459 of the Blue book 3rd edition, I'm sure he be happy to here from you all. Thanks for the nice comments Phil.

ring work question?
for you all that was wondering about the ring work, the same veneer work that was used in the flames was also used in the ring work, to some it may look as though the veneer is faded or a void in that section, but its actually the changes of the stitched veneer. It really adds to the look of the cue. Masonh I hate to say it, but I'm glad you had second thoughts on the cue, otherwise I would not have been able to pick it up. I have a new cue on order now with Kyle, his work is really good, and he has a few stitched veneer cues left. Can anyone tell me if any other cue makers uses or have used the stitch veneer in there cues? I would like to see some if there is.
