?? Unknown jump/break cue ?? help
- Thread starter cue fix
- Start date
Mike Webb made a lot of cues that looked like that, but usually with shorter points. They had a dull epoxy finish like this seems to have. He called them his sneeky pete at the time because he avoided making sneeky pete cues. You should contact him and see if he made it.
Not mine sorry. I can't tell if it's Bacote or Kingwood.

Looked like one, hard to tell. I know yours were usually tulipwood into maple. That was a long tome ago.
The wood is indeed Kingwood and a 1-pointer to boot.
The 'point' is actually the sapwood.
No splicing necessary.
The cue looks to be of decent construction, probably by a mid-level builder.
Nothing about the cue jumps out at me as to who that builder might be.
The sq. drive machine screw (into wood) that attaches the bumper may be your clue.
That's not something you see everyday.
On closer inspection, the bumper screw appears to be a sheet-metal screw.
Dufferin used those for their bumper on their 1pc cues.

All except 4 of them were 4 pointed cues into maple forearms, Points were asst, ebony, bacote, tulip, purple heart and cocobolo, I still have some of those point blanks in the draw.
I don't know the cue maker but the square drive screw as KJ referred to it is a Robertson screw something that although an exceptionally better quality product in most applications has never caught on in the United States. I would probably concentrate my search for the cues origin North of the 49th Parallel in Canada
Good thought but, all of the dufferin house cues had them, and some of the guys might have taken the bumpers and screws when the house cues use to get broke.
