THANK GOD the two Sister cues Mr. Jerry Rauenzahn built for me survived a near tragic ending from shipping. The box was crushed, and they lived thru the experience only because Mr. Jerry used tons of bubble wrap. The shafts were dinged, but I was able to fix them with a little TLC a wet Q-tip, and a little sanding and waxing on the lathe. Both butts were fine.
When I saw the box I almost had an accident.
I'll try and post pics tonight. These two cues are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! I think they are some of Mr. Jerry's best work yet.
Jerry is like a great barrel of whiskey, the more it ages the better it gets. (<:
OK, pics are here. The blue, green, light blue, and black veneered cue has abalone inlays while the black, white, black, and white veneered cue has mother-of-pearl inlays. They both have ivory piloted joints with 5/15-14 SS pins and all have ivory ferrules with Triangle tips. Cues hit sharply and firm with that old school Rauenzahn hit. Two of the shafts had well over 30++ ring count to the inch.
Enjoy
