Diamonds and Silver in Cocobolo/Birds Eye Maple Cue
Purchased by Doug W.

I started this cue in January 1997, with a very nice piece of birds eye maple joined to a handle, trued up, and allowed to rest for two months. The forearm and handle were reduced incrementally over a period of one year, and the pockets were cut for the "V" short splice. The points were added from seasoned Cocobolo wood. The diamonds were inlaid into the butt sleeve, and then 40 pieces of silver were added to the butt cap, before and after the wrap, and to the joint, which was made from Double Black Linen-based fiber as is the butt cap.

The cue was turned to 10-thousandths of an inch oversize. Stain was added to the birds eye maple forearm. It was sanded the next day until the only stain that remained was that which had penetrated into the birds eyes themselves. This accents the birds eyes in the forearm, retaining the natural beauty of the maple wood.

I then installed a Uni-Loc® 3/8" Radial Pin and topped the laminated shaft with an Aegis II ferrule and medium, water buffalo tip. The balance point is 19 inches from the butt.

This cue includes the following:

• 1 Shaft
• Weight: 19.25 ounces
• Length: 58 inches
