Sweet Rosewood/Rosewood Bluebook Mottey F/S

4point/ 4 veneer Braz. rosewood/ Braz. rosewood Mottey.

Cue was made in 2001 and can be seen pictured in the 3rd edition of Blue Book of cues in both the colored and b/w section.

The wrap was changed to ultra smooth leather by Pete Tascarella and a brown bumper added.

It has a solid ivory piloted 5/16x14 joint w/ ivory stitch ring.

Also has ivory hoppe ring on butt and another matching ivory ring above wrap. The thin rings on either side of both rings are also ivory.

Veneers from inside out are natural / purple / orange / blk.

Butt weighs 15.6oz 28.5in

shaft 1: 4.0oz 28.5in ivory ferrule/ 12.8mm
shaft 2: 3.8oz 28.5in ivory ferrule/ 12.5mm
Shaft 3: matching 314/2 shaft 29", 4.1oz, 12.8mm

The cue is in really nice condition but does have one very small issue worth mentioning. The Ivory ring in the butt of the cue has what appears to be a hairline crack. I never noticed it but was given a heads up by another board member and it is there. It is so small I feel that it is almost a non-issue. Even when I was looking for it I had to spin the cue a few times before I found it


Please feel free to Pm me with any questions.

It has been brought to my attention that in the second picture it looks like the butt is cracked. I assure you it is not. As always I offer a 3 day inspection period to make sure you the buyer are satisfied.
 
This Cue Belonged To A Very Strong Player, And Was His Playing Cue When It Was New From Paul. I've Hit Balls With It, And To Say It's Cherry Is An Understatement.
 
Great looking cue.
The Brazilian Rosewood has a nice sweet hit to it.
The best part of the deal is your great price.

Good Luck with the Sale.
 
This cue will make someone a great player.

The leather installed by Tasc is another big plus. NOBODY does a better smooth leather than Pete. :smile: :smile:

Good luck with the sale............

Also, I almost forgot to add, that is an absolutely gorgeous Ron Thomas case in the pic.
 
Wow what a fantastic cue..................... good luck with your sale.
 
Just to update and answer a couple questions that have been asked.

The cue balances right on Pauls middle inital in his signature or about 1 3/8inches above the wrap.

I have to bring some allen keys home tonight to see if the cue has a weight bolt.

The Case belongs to Chenz here on AZ all inquires about the case should be directed to him.

Thank fro all the kind words on the cue guys. This is one that definately needs to be seen and felt to truely appreciate the beauty of this cue.
 
Fatter butt. I'll measure when I get home.

If you want a thinner butt I have a rosewood/rosewood James White that is being refnished and retipped by James as we speak. A little fancier than this cue with noched diamonds and barbells flat face 3/8 -10 Ivory joint . Also more money.
 
Have some before photos of the white. It should look brand new when it comes back from JIM. The photo's are on my home computer . I won't be able to post them until 7 or 8 tonight.

This cue was made for Mark Kulungian and yes it has a fatter butt.
