this is my Personal set with the dream wood since i was a little boy. it was easy to buld this cue for starters the price and weight ratio is quite difficult to do. i have to cored all the way the full length of the wood and making al the extra length with ivory joint collar and butt cap but after 3 months of turning and sealing the wood i have came up with a full set with the main theme is Snakewood & Ivory it a very simple set to produce the maximum feel and hit. the playing cue has one of the best hit ever better than alot of 1 piece butt like birbseye and purpleheart. the beauty of a 1 piece butt cue is that the wood must be highly firgured. almost prefect if not it will not turn out nice

Playing Cue 1 full piece Snakewood with ivory joint collar and butt cap with titanium radial pin
Break cue Snakewood patches with a maple core and ivory butt cap
Jump Cue 314 bk2 shaft with 1 piece Snakewood and ivory at collar and butt cap

wow... very very nice cues.... if they were mine they would be in a glass climate controlled case that never opens. the problem with snakewood is one day its going to crack might be 10 years might be 10 months :eek:....
 
WOW---- if you ever decide you want to sell these and make yourself another set---- let me know!!

WOW
 
They all look very nice, but it looks like you had to CA some checks in the snakewood already. I certainly don't wish it on you, but I think more well develop as someone suggested. I have heard too many stories of cored handles and such just popping a seam out of the blue.

Looks like the jump shaft is split at the joint.
