Searing has made cues out of Dufferin sneaky pete cues in the past, so why would it be so far fetched that he may have made cues out of a Schmelke Blank in the past?
I assume that Searing probably builds his own blanks, for his custom cues, but someone may have had a Schmelke blank to send him, and requested that he build the cue using that blank.
I just read a very interesting thread about cue makers who make cues from blanks, and it sounds like the cue maker needs to do a lot of work in order to complete the cue, even if they have a blank to start with.

Because nobody wants to think or believe that maybe the cue God used something made by a mortal.
They had rather think he clapped his hands together and in seven days created a blank.

I recently bought a four-point Schmelke 3/8x10 to go with my new Cynergy -- hits great!

The wood on the cue I mentioned was about that color. I will take a picture of it next Sunday if he brings it.
He sometimes brings a different cue to play with...all high dollar cues, but most of them are "simple" looking. At least, the ones I've seen.
I don't think the guy would have mentioned it was a "Schmelke" blank if it wasn't. He paid top dollar for the cue because it was turned by Searing.
I kept thinking about it yesterday, perhaps I should not have made the comment.
I Thank you for a nice response.
Wish I could send him a $40 blank and get it back as a Searing cue, not sure what it would be worth. Maybe your friend is good friends with him, however, Thanks again for the great response.

Yes. It's this one from Billiards Warehouse: https://www.billiardwarehouse.com/cues/schmelke/schmelke_rosewood-hoppe.htm
My only small complaint with it is that the points are shorter than I had realized compared to other similar cues I was considering. But that's a small issue -- it still looks really good (to my eye anyway...I know some prefer darker with cf), and I love the hit and balance.

Then later there was further confusion when Leon's cues were thought to have been made by a guy named Harris, ahhhh, the circle of life.
What a Sly guy that Leon is.
And offering 575$ for a Searing, lol, another Sly guy.

Two phenomenal points made.
I can just imagine that conversation...
"You have a cue you want to sale, and don't know anything about cues, sure I can help you out. Oh, that's a Searing, they aren't worth much because of the ivory inlays, nobody wants that stuff, I'll give you 575.00 because I am feeling generous, and that other cue, well I never heard of Balabushka, I'll give you 200.00 because I like the looks of it, it might be worth 50.00$ if you're lucky ".
I jest of course, but 575$ for a Searing, lol, one has to wonder.
Sly's last few posts on here were pretty funny...
