Dang Mr. Tikkler you just have the most beautiful and amazing cues. You must be known as the King of cues! :thumbup:

Cheers to you for owning all of the fine jewels of pool cues.

Best,

I honestly do not like bacote cues. It is probably the only wood I can't stand. Having said that, this is one of two bacote cues I have ever seen that I really love.

The ebony makes the bacote pop and it really doesn't look like normal bacote. Great cue Steve. I don't like it as much as that Carmeli set you posted, but they are both great in different ways.

Steve,

That's what I was afraif of :lol:

Sorry but had to chime in on this thread. About time to add to your collection a Pete Tonkin cue. Pete is the most amazing and humble cuemaker I ever met.

I can't wait to see what's up your and Pete's sleeve :) Another show stopper for sure that will blow our minds away. Pete is one of my favorite cuemakers and a good friend as well.

Congrats,

Hi,

What makes this Bacote Cue so favorable is that there are no colors in the veneers. The black is balanced with the points and the butt and the maple/black gives a subtle contrast to the color and grain of the Bacote.

I bet it hits real big.

Steve,

The Bacote Tonkin cue was part of my collection for a couple of years and only by a unique set of conditions did it ever leave my collection. I really like the cue and am glad it is with you.

Great cue with wonderful selection of materials, and it hits a ton too! :thumbup:

Sweet

I too typically do not like bacote wood. I will certainly make an exception for this cue. It is a true beauty. Thanks for posting the great pictures.
