I've had numerous request to offer one of my high end cues. Here is a fine one. This cue plays as good as money can buy...period. It has the finest of everything possible. Extremely figured BEM forearm with 4 points of bocote and veneers of black, tan, and brown. A nicely figured piece of BEM is used in the handle and a bocote butt sleeve. Natural linen with micarta ringwork is featured in the joint collars & buttcap. The pin is a steel 3/8-10. Weight is right at 18.5 and this cue also has a high gloss finish that along with the shaft, has been buffed to within an inch of their lives. The shaft has the best playing combo possible...Saber T & Sniper. I'm a bit old school and believe its best to always play with one shaft so as with all my cues, thats how it comes but a matching spare can be purchased for an extra $150. This is indeed a rare opportunity to own one of my nicest cues with absolutely no wait. I don't make very many of these, and won't make another exactly like this one. Don't fumble the chance to own this Varney. This sweetheart will make someone's Christmas and it is fairly priced at $1000.
