they're like 240$ with rosewood and veneers. Add 40$ for ebony and they offer 2 sizes in veneers like .030 and .040 roughly. I saw a few at sbe. The raw blank looked perfect but I saw a few finished blanks they had and there was a huge glue line in the miter between the veneers really turned me off to them. It was more than one. They claim points turn perfect also. providing there is no movement

Thanks, Dave, for the info. Doesn't seem totally outta line for the blanks, as long as they are good ones...but I have to agree, glue lines would turn me off as well!

I've dealt with Prather for years , never any problem with glue lines or anything else ... I 've seen many full spliced butts not near the quality and could name a few I purchased ... These butts from Prather are real good , Jeff does great work , and I think they are reasonably priced ... Make your own and see what you have ... Prather makes a really good playin' cue ....for real ... Just my 2 $ ...:cool:
