This is a new unhit 2010 Mike Bender cue. It is a fullsplice 4-point Gaboon Ebony into high figure Birdseye Maple. The blank was made by John Davis and is pointed on both ends. It has silver stich deco rings, a premium maple shaft (13mm), linen melamine ferrule and a Triangle tip. Cue was cored by Mike to get it to a good playing level of 19.1 oz. Joint protector set included. $$ SOLD $$

John Davis blank and finished by Mike Bender, how can you go wrong. Beautiful cue, good luck with your sale.
 
This was probably the most collectable Bender sneaky made to date. Of the 5Davis blank petes that were made, only one was ebony. Sharp points on both ends of the splice. This is a great deal for someone.

Silver ladder ringwork, pin, overall shape and craftsmanship in the cue...plus the fact that I commisioned Mike to make 5 John Davis fullsplice wrapless cues from blanks John made special for me and I supplied. This was one of the 5. And, this cue was shipped directly from Mike's shop in Alaska to the customer. That's what tells me. Does that make sense to you? You can believe something else though. It's a free country!:D

Thank you for all the pm's. I regret to say that I cannot accept trades on this cue. I am needing the funds to help cover the cost of a cue I purchased over the weekend. Believe me if I didn't need the cash I wouldn't sell it.

I purchased the cue from Martin and the cue was shipped to me from Mike Bender. The pin is unmarked and does not say "Bender"... trust me ...it is a John Davis blank built by Mike Bender.

Mike Bender will only use engraved pins on cues he made entirely. That means no engraved pins in any cue made from a blank. His pin is unique anyway. I'm thankful that he made a few of these cues. There have only been 17-18 pete style cues made in his career to date.

Ringwork and pin are a dead giveway.... I'd be willing to bet it also says "BENDER" on the pin.

I can't say for a fact this is the cue, since its of course not in my hands. But I do know for a fact Mike was building an exact cue like this that was a John Davis blank when I was visiting him and he had mentioned he got it from Martin, (who BTW he also said has "Killer leather").

I purchased this cue for $1K and it is still unhit. I'm selling for $799 plus shipping (firm). This cue is also listed on ebay. I am selling to fund a new cue that I purchased over the weekend and cannot accept trades on this cue...sorry.

I am looking to sale a few of my cues and have decided to re-list this cue. It is un-hit and perfect.

It's a Bender. I talked to Mike Bender about these Davis Blank cues. He is willing to give a Letter of proof of maker if desired. I bought one of the 5 Bender Davis Blank cues and you couldn't get mine for $1500. Very nice well made cues.
