New Esoteric Cue
Chopped Cocobolo/Curly Maple FS with Kielwood Shaft. What is a chopped FS Sneaky Pete?
When you purchase a SP Blank they have what i call "pimpy point heights" that are closer to the middle of the cue than the nose in some casees. IMO ugly!
So what i do is chop 5 inches off the nose, insert a 3/4" tennon on the butt and then install a butt sleeve and cap.
Then retaper the butt to my parabolic profile on the saw butt tapering machine.
This brings the points closer to the nose,
which in my view is a better visual porportional look! That is what you see here. It is more labor and material but I think, in the end, it is really worth the effort.
This cue has a premium curry maple forearm, the body is a very nice piece of Central American Cocobolo with white Joint Colars and butt cap.
The shaft is 13 mm Double Torified Kielwood with a 5/16 14 brass insert to match the 5/16 pin installed in the butt. Ultra Skin 10 layer pig on a 1/2" ferrule.
Butt is 15.7
Shaft is 3.7
A very solid player delivered with JPs.
This cue will be shipped fully insured CONUS, Priorty 2 Day USPS for the
sum of:
$ 1,150.00
Zelle or Venmo. Sorry no Trades offers are welcome!
Thanks for looking,
