Now at 850.00.

Times are tight and I need to sell. This is the first wide point design by Wayne Holmes. I'm happy to provide any personal information about myself and the cue if you wish to verify this with Wayne.

I wanted something "titlist" like but unique in a modern kind of way. The wider points give it that old school look with modern like veneers and aesthetics. I think Wayne hit the nail on the head with this look.

Veneers are black, green, orange and natural. Classy look. Sharp as a needle. It took a good month to match up the veneers to get just the right combo. The points, forearm and butt are a non-traditional hardwood. I for the life of me can't remember what the wood was but we were shooting for a rich grain "coffee" like appearance. Similar to rosewood but less red in tone.

Two shafts. One has been been played with sparingly, maybe 50-60 hours total. The other has never been played with. I don't have calipers but the shafts should be at 13mm. The cue weighed in right at 19.5 ounces. Ivory ferrule and a sleeved ivory joint. Ivory hoppe ring. Med tip.

I need a fast sell so I'm willing to listen to offers. Partial trades if they're cash heavy. Just please don't make an offer unless its firm and you're ready to do business. I don't want to just give it away so if I have to settle for severely less I'll just do the unthinkable and pawn it.

I did the best I could with the pictures. I showed one minor scuff on the buttcap otherwise the cue is in great shape. Probably at about 95-98% like new and absolutely no less than 95%. You'll be pleased no doubt and if you aren't ship it back for a full refund less the shipping.

I would prefer to sell in the US, overseas make me nervous because the last time I shipped a cue to Europe it took nearly a month to arrive. If you are out of the US and want the cue we just need to find a reasonable way to ship this without issue.

I will pay to ship the cue 2-3 day priority at no additional charge to you. I will also pay for the insurance. I will make this as easy and wonderful a transaction as one could hope for.

I wasn't loving the indoor pictures so I went outside hoping the bright sun could really show off the awesome detail of the cue. These pictures were taken today. I can provide more upon request. Whatever it takes to help sell the cue. Thanks.

Ryan, that is a great cue. Wayne makes a super nice cue and a great person to communicate with. I've dealt with Ryan (Bishop) before and he was true to his word, no problems at all.
 
I have a couple of Waynes cues, He makes a nice playin cue and he's a great person to deal with .

I own 6 of Wayne's cues and you hit the nail on the head with what you said about him. If this one is available long.. I'll own 7.:thumbup:
 
Got a heads up from Wayne a little bit ago.

"The point & butt wood is "Granadillo" (Grana-deeyo) that I bought in 1996 from a gentleman that worked for the old Brunswick Cue Company. I still have some of the same stock and am saving it to be used in future cues."

In case anyone was interested in the type of wood that was used.
