Wood Joint

JEFF,
That is indeed a true wood to wood joint. These are popular with the 3 cushion crowd. Adam makes a few cues with that joint. You can check them out on line. I have developed a liking for this type of cue construction but it's hard to come by in a pool cue. I have found a guy named Ron Kilby (Kilby Cues) who makes carom cues AND pool cues with this type of joint.
Ron also makes musical instruments and he has a good knowledge of woods as well as cue construction and configuration. I visited a guy who has two of his cues and tried them out. Both hit very nicely. I got in touch with Ron and will be getting my cue from him in mid December.
Check out Ron's website (Kilbycues.com). I find his cues to be well made and reasonably priced. Ron's easy to deal with and he will make a cue to your specifications in about 3 or 4 months.

why not.....it's all wood.
but it's like one of those things where someone says a cue is handmade, and someone else says "but he used a router". is a cue not a real wood joint if it has a thin elkhorn collar(billiard cue)? ,,,,even though it has a woode screw.
seems to me, cues are described by their collar material, ie SS joint, phenolic joint, ivory joint,,,mainly because a metal pin is standard fare and that they may be describing a cosmetic feature. . so i would consider a cue as wood jointed even if it had a metal pin but wood collar.

I'm the guilty party with two, and Andy, you're welcome anytime. Just one note, the correct website for Ron's cues is...
http://www.caromcues.com/
Tell them about the pizza, Andy!
Adios,

My mistake on that website address. Thanks for the standing invite Bob. For all of you out there in AZ land Pizza Bob doesn't have that handle for nothing. He's a true pizza afficianado of the first order and a good judge of quality cues. He even let me win a few games last time we met.
