An ivory joint would have looked great.

Had I ordered it from Skip, I would have done the same. This cue is a player, and the phenolic joint is great for that purpose.

That's a sweet cue. I've always liked the looks of Skip's 8-prongs into nice BE or curly maple, where he does his low (or "shadow" points as he likes to call them) with something contrasting but also matching one of the veneer colors in the long prongs. His point work is always fantastic.
Deno, who put the wrap on....doesn't look like anything Skip's done but maybe he's gotten some of that boar's hide looking stuff in ??

Good question! I didn't get it from him, but I was told that it was as he built it. I haven't been able to reach him yet to ask.

That cue was originally mine...I purchased three cues from Skip to re-sell and that was one of them....I dont remember who I sold it to but the wrap is not original...Thank God!! The original wrap was purple with white speck irish linen..Anyway good luck with the cue and if you want to know anything else just ask......Cosmo Salerno

Cosmo,
Looking back at my photos, I was sure it was one I had purchased. But you're right, I have a photo of that cue with that (linen) wrap on it and I didn't buy it. Skip has never had that boars skin, or boarskin print leather. If he did, I would have only used that wrap and lizard.
JV (---so much for all original cues, and doing your homework...
