Hi Guys,

Check out my refinished and retapered Miranda cue by Don Broos. I add the lizard leather print wrap on this cue myself. The butt weight in at about 15.4 oz and is straight. 3/8-10, ivory joint, ivory butt cap, 8 points, Maple into Amboyna Burl...just a beautiful cue.

The cue was oversize when I got it custom made by Jonathan and his team at Miranda. They did amazing work on this piece....everything white is ivory. The cue has two original shafts that was sent over to them to finished but unfortunately both quality dowel has a very slight roll to them. Also, the ivory ferrule on 2 of the shafts are cracked (Miranda and one original per pics). The only other flaw is one of the ivory diamond wasn't deep enough during the retaper so we lost a bit of the ivory diamond.

The cue plays great with all three shafts.
One shaft is a hard curly maple weighing at 4.1 oz (13.15mm) and the other is tight grain weighing at 3.8oz (13mm). The cue also has an additional perfectly straight shaft by Don Broos from my other high end Miranda that fit nicely on this cue but the ring work doesn't match weighing at 4.0 (12.8mm). Looking for $900 or Will trade for a lower end McDaniel.

did you custom order a cue from Miranda and they sent it to you oversized.i can't believe that.how big was it compared to how big is it now?butt/A-joint/joint?
 
Hi Mason,

Thanks for the bump. I can't believe you can't believe? BTW, Are you a cuemaker? I know you mentioned you work with Alex...so I'm just curious if you do repair or help him build some of his components?

Are you interested in buying this cue?

To answer your questions, yes the cue was a custom order with a specific taper and I think they called this one the "super ivory cue" level. I paid a lot more on this order as everything was designed by me...actually if anyone is interested I have a custom Joel Weinstock that has the same butt taper before the Miranda was taken down. The Miranda butt was originally at 0.875 at the joint and about 1.295 in the butt before DB turned it down to his taper (.836 and 1.25). The inlay depth are at about 4mm for the ivory except one of them wasn't as deep per pics.

Still don't know exactly what an A-Joint is...working on my first joined cue and haven't fiqure out what they call it. The new handle that Don installed was threaded into both the butt sleeve and handle as I understand it with no pin joint. Don't think it's an A-joint.

Regards,

You have to see this cue in person, in play solid and it's beautiful. Shouldn't be a problem to have the ivory diamond replaced but it would mean a new wrap and refinish in the forearm thought.
 
my freind collects these overseas type cues and saw this cue.he wanted me to inquire about it for him as ne is not a member.thanks Duc.yes i work for Alex.
 
Thanks west...probably will be getting more from you in the new year!! Really like the color of this one...goes well with a lot of cues. I have it on the Joe C , Paul Mottey and my plain jane cue as well.

The joint used by Don was a threaded wood tenon!! The cue hit great with all 3 shafts
