The cue looks great. I'm curious about the use of the old house cue, how did the idea come about? Also, was the cue straight?
Cuejunky, I use the old house cues because of the figure and the age of the wood. I can acurrately date these old cues with or without a lable by their specific charctoristics. The problem of warping is normally in the shafts, I have very fews problems with the cues butts. The cues I use are from the 1930's back to the 1880's, so the butts are very large, and can be easily re-tapered to remove any movement. The best part are the quality of the woods, they are normally around a 100 years old, so they are very very well cured and stable. The wood is also very well figured, and is very hard to find today.
Here are some photo's of some of my stock, currently I have cues separated by type and age. I have close to 350 of these old house cues to choose from.
The cues below are Brunswick 26 1/2 Pre-titlist cues and Brunswick Titlist cues, these are made from every kind of wood from purple Heart, to Brazilain Rosewood and Ebony.
The cues pictured are Antique Brunswick Butterfly cues made from woods such as, Brizilian Rosewood through Gabon Ebony.
The are plain Antique Brunswick house cues, that are made from very figured woods that range across the spectrim of woods.
Just a shot of the main storage area.
Hope this answers your question.
