Here is a New Conversion cue that I just finished for local Customer. The cue was converted from an early Brunswick 26 1/2, according to the Decal the cue was made some where between 1913 and 1918.

This cue has a real nice Veneer Color combination, unlike the later Titlist Cues the colors are not as bright they are more subdued and sometimes the colors vary a little.

The cues butt I believe is made from Brazilian Rosewood, but I could be wrong. The cue was made with an extra shaft, one shaft is 29 inches and the other is 30 inches, both shafts are pro-tapered and they were turned down to 12.80mm.

The cues joint is a split Ivory joint, and both shafts have Phenolic inserts which give you a more durable tight fitting joint when using a 3/8-10 pin. The cues butt is made of a Ivory Butt cap, an Ivory ring, and other ring designs that the customer wanted added to the cue, the wood used is Macasar Ebony and the cue uses one of the Brown Brunswick style bumpers.

Last the cue weighs 19.3 oz and it is either 59 or 60 inches depending upon which shaft is being used.

Any comments would be appreciated.
 
Craig,

I LOVE your ring work...something about the combination of materials and colors is really unique--at least these days. Almost makes me wish I'd seen this before I ordered my custom. When I first looked at this, the extra long butt sleeve gave me an impression of an unbalanced design for a conversion, but the longer I look at it the more I get it. Might have looked a little more balanced with rosewood to match the cue's build than dark ebony...

I'll bet that old full splice hits like nothing else!!
 
Wow, thanks for the comments guy's I appreciate them very much.

Have a great night
 
YOWSA!!!!!!!!

Great looking cue and definitely has a lil bit of an old school touch to it, with those joint rings.

Thanks for the compliment Robert, but lets face the facts there are many many cue makers on this site better then me. My designs are really simply compared to what others are building, I mean the reason I am building conversion cues is because I have not learned to make my own points yet. I will some day, but I have not perfected my method yet. I am still a newbie when it comes to Cue Building, I will most likely be a student until I die!!!!!!:)

Thanks again
