Pics of my titlist cue

[spliced]

Here's a few pages of pics of my titlist cue i'm planning to have re-converted. THe original owner had a brass joint and 5/16x18 pin installed. I'm planning to have the collar replaced with solid ivory, the pin possibly replaced, and an ivory butt cap installed. Enjoy the pics. The cue is dead straight and in very good shape. It was a 14oz house cue, not sure what it weighs now.. If anyone can tell me what the base wood is i'd be interested in hearing some ideas. THanks!!

I'm hoping to have tascarella do a conversion. if not i will take it to scot sherbine and have the joint and buttcap changed to ivory.

Here's a thread that showed a lot of Titlist conversions to give you some creative ideas. I was amazed at the diversity of creative approaches cue makers have used on these cues:

If you search A-Z, you will find more.

The wood looks like "Ipe" to me, sometimes called Brazilian Walnut:

Wow thats a great thread. I love the bottom murray tucker titlist. I may try to do something like that to keep it wrapless.
