Roy Mason lives about an hour away from me. I have only chatted with him a few times, but a great guy. He got the old dufferin stock when they closed up here and has a lot of blanks. I picked up an ebony/maple fullsplice blank off him about 8 or so years ago. Had a local cuesmith finish it with a pred shaft for my wife (no pred decal added). Plays outstanding. Not a true bur sneaky, added a maple ring on the butt, and ss 5/14/16 compression joint. I have a few solid maple shafts i use with it. Pic attached.
I have two of the two piece ebony white flame dufferins, on is warped unfortunately, the other his being converted and i hope to have it back in a bit. But i am highjacking the thread here.
