Show your reverse forearms.

[XxMerlinxX]

Hey guys, I'd like to see cues that have reverse forearms. Post'em if you've got'em!

I know I'm not the only one who has pics of reverse forearms. Here's one by Edwin Reyes, one of the best cuemakers the world ever saw.

Not sure of who made this one, but I like it.

Reverse Forearms

Can you clarify; do you mean the typical base wood is the point wood?

 

[mia]

I may have some pics. But what is a reverse forearm? Do you just mean lighter pointwood and darker forearm wood?
I'm not familiar with the term.

Unless I'm mistaken, yes, that's what it's called. I thought this was a common term?

It may be. Just because I've never heard the term doesn't mean its not used all the time. I mean, I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer. LOL.

I have a few examples of some of by older cues. I'll try and get pigs of them up tomorrow.

Gotcha, lol. I'll keep posting until then.

Here's a great looking South West I found. I believe it's Roppongi's.

And here's a nice Carmeli jump/break.

my friend, did you know that this was a southwest cue?

 

[mia]

my friend, did you know that this was a southwest cue?

He's right. Its a South West that was dressed up with some inlays by Edwin Reyes. Pretty sweet lookin' cue though.

 

[XxMerlinxX]

In fact, I did not. I thought that this was simply one of his cues that he did in a Southwest style. Good to know. Here are a couple more pics I dug up.

Kenny Murrell with birdseye points and grenadillo forearm and handle.

Jim Lee with birdseye points and ebony forearm.

An awesome Frank Paradise.

Ok. well, I won't have to post pics of this one then. I sold this a few years back. It originally had a birdseye joint and a birdseye buttcap. The guy I sold it to swapped out the birdseye for phenolic. I think Ken also did this cue in bbirdseye and amboyna.

I have a pics of my old Skip Weston, Fanelli, and Carmeli I can get up later.

 

[mia]

Here are the pics I promised. A few nice examples that have passed through my hands.

• The Murrell (as I knew it... birdseye joint and buttcap);
• A Satinwood and Cocobolo Fanelli (with a few butterflies to boot);
• An ebony and tulip wood Skip Weston.

Thanks.

Here's one more, though I'm not sure this is what you're looking for.
Its a floating point cue by Ariel Carmeli. The forearm is ebony. The white is ivory.

thanks for choosing one of mine to start the thread merlin. :thumbup:

heres another i own by joe famiglietti. again no inlays or veneers, just sharp, sharp points of gorgeous curley maple into ebony, and downward reversed points in the butt.

 

[KD Cues]

This was one of my favorites!

I hope you enjoy this one, KD.:thumbup:

Those last two are great cues, I wouldn't mind having either of them, or both.

Here's one by Tim Padgett.
