I've had the pleasure of knowing Paul Drexler before he was world renowned.
He was always kind enough to do work on either my Huebler or Scruggs cues as well as make shafts for them and of course always did a smashing job.
I always wanted to have Paul make a cue for me, but 1) I wasn't sure I could afford one and 2) I hadn't finished designing the cue in my mind.
Paul's cues are surprisingly affordable. As far as the design process, Paul basically elicited frome me what I wanted even though I wasn't aware I already knew.
I wanted something old school, something that held the spirit of a "Bushka Trubute", yet something that only the cutting edge technology & unparalleled craftmanship that is PFD Studio's could pull off.
I wanted a cue that reflected not only my love of Pool, but also hinted something about me. Paul & Ellen were able to co-create the vision and make it a fabricated reality.
Here it is.
The Jedi Cue is Oak Burl, with Ebony points.
The symbol at the bottom of the Butt is the icon of the Jedi Order.
The inlay in the Ebony points is the star-spire from the Jedi Order icon.
It was Paul's suggestion to do them in polished pure Silver as opposed to Juma, or Micarta. I think it's what makes the cue so visually stunning
The Ring work is silver as well.
The wrap is black with silver specks...something Paul had made special for PFD Studios long before the Pressed Irish Linen well forever dried up.
The shafts are OB-1+ (from blanks ordered by Paul) w/ Kamui Medium clear Brown tips
The joint is Uni-loc.
The cue weighs circa 19.475 ounces.
And yes, it plays like a dream.
And oh, yeah, I almost forgot...I ordered it in 1989 and Paul just finished it this past weekend (not really) :rotflmao1:
