Nice cue. I really like the D series.

I have never heard the term French veneers before. Just curious what that is?
 
French!

Met Jim McDermott back in the 70's at his home/shop and he gave me a tour of his cue making facility. In one room he kept the veneers for his cues where he explained they were specially dyed French veneers, imported from France. After seeing his little shop where he produced these beautiful cues I have to chuckle a little when people refer to them as production cues. I suppose some believe if a cue is not one of a kind it doesn't qualify as a custom. Only selling this one because I have two. Will sell either, both are real nice and don't mind keeping either one. Both straight and play great. I do recall Jim asking me if I new the difference in how the $100 cue and the $500 cue played, his reply was nothing!
 
Option

This cue has a cherry stained forearm, the other is dark walnut and much darker stained.
 
Please Buy It!

Gonna hate to ebay this cue. Also have a D-21, both may be headed that way.
 
Available?

Cue is still available. Have had some interest in it lately from a number of people, so hurry if you want it. Price is $395 and $15 to help with shipping or a total of $410. I would never sell at this low price if I didn't own two. Payment by USPS money order.
 
Possible Trade

Now looking for a Cameron, will consider one in trade. Cash will be great as well, USPS MO only please.
 
Who's First?

Lots of interest in this cue and some offers. I have reduced the cue to it's lowest selling price, firm. Now it's first come, gets it, payment by MO.
 
Here Yet?

Had 2 or 3 buyers for this cue, but no payment, so far, so still for sale.
 
What is the butt weight on this cue? Also, is it on the fatter side like most of the D series cues or does it happen to be a thinner one?

Thanks,

Randy
