price for a full splice cue with veneers with an Ivory joint and Hoppe style butt,and ivory ferrules in either ebony or rosewood?

I prefer wrapless,would you expect to pay more or less for wrapless?
 
I would suppose wrapless would be a little more depending on type of wood chosen for the handle and a little harder too finish as well...
just an opinion
Thanks, Adam
 
I started a thread like this a few months ago, and several people told me that the $1500 range is pretty common... Of course the bigger names will cost more
 
I will be getting a Blackcreek full splice cue form Travis at the DCC. It is a full ebony wrapless into BEM with veneers, ivory joint, ivory Hoppe ring, and 2 shafts with ivory ferrules and Moori tips. Retail is $1,650.00.

I charge the same either way, the wood and materials in any cue are secondary to Labor / Time to properly prepare the materials and build it.

I know that many will say, well I used this wood or that, or I used this material or that and yes this can effect the overall price of the cue. However, from wrapped to wrap less like another poster said, the materials may cost a little more money, but unless they are Rare Expensive woods or other materials the cue should cost no more.

I agree if anything laborwise the wrapless should be cheaper
 
How about if the wrapless handle is segmented? Or, you had to core it prior to installing. Or instead of it being a $9 maple handle, it is a $30 piece of birdseye that had several turns on it before it could be used as a handle. Cheaper?

wrapless

I'm no expert but I would think you would pay less for the wrapless

you might want to check on the cuebuilders page and see what they say

There is exceptions of course. Then your looking at lots more labor and that would sure justify a higher price. Then you look at a wrapped cue you have to consider are you using a $8 piece of leather or a $60-$80 exotic. Its really a loaded question it could go both ways depending on price of wood or wrap and extra labor involved in building the handle. However Dean said full splice rodewood or ebony butt I am fairly certain in his instance its not going to be segmented and were not talking about super exotic woods so wrapless should be the same price if not cheaper.

Ok with that said Dean,
If this is the same cue builder we spoke about on the phone recently i would say $800-1200 until he really gets his name out there. I have a friend locally thats been in the business a while and just now is really get noticed. He has veneered cues for around $1200
