These three cues are all 1 of 1's and were made for me by relatively unknown, local cue makers. I provided the primary woods and worked with the maker on the design. All three are great playing cues and you won't go wrong if you work with any of them on a custom cue.


Top to Bottom - Bob Zide, Jason Wiegand and Fred Meister. Bob and Fred are listed in the Blue Book of Pool Cues,Third Edition.

Bob Zide - Lemonwood points into a highly-figured bocote forearm. Bocote butt sleeve. Joint and butt cap are tan linen phenolic. Lemonwood and phenolic rings. Notice how the grain in the butt sleeve "tracks" right through the lemonwood rings.


Jason Wiegand - My pride and joy!!! This is my main playing cue and it is beautiful. Quilted Sapele points and butt sleeve, curly maple forearm, natural lizard wrap. All white is elephant ivory. Great ringwork. Bright veneers are Hoppe like. This cue brings down the house everytime I walk into the room. Jason is an AZBilliard member. He posts as "JLCues". He is a great guy.


Fred Meister - I love the look of spalted maple. Took this piece to Fred and he created a very simple but striking cue. The joint, butt cap, rings, and butt sleeve inlays are black buffalo horn. Black leather wrap. Great feel and great player.
