Ebony With Attitude - 1
Ivory Arcs in Birdseye Maple
Arnot Laminated Shaft - Center Cut Elephant Ivory
Every once
in a while I decide that I need a new cue (Cindy, my wife,
says
I already have enough!). Anyway I was trying to decide just
what a player really needed in a cue for it to be perfect,
and I decided
that for me it should perform flawlessly and be pleasing
to the eye. So I started with a piece of my favorite material
-- Center-cut
elephant ivory. I added a seasoned piece of Gaboon Ebony
and
a piece of XXX Birdseye Maple. I could have used a piece
of Birdseye Maple with more definition, but for my personal
cues
I prefer
to use a subtle-grained piece instead of a highly defined
piece. I don't think more is always better. It's just my personal
preference.
I also prefer the hit of an Ivory Joint
and Ivory Ferrules, which it has. I am kind of nuts about
arc-shaped diamonds too,
so, I put large ones in the butt sleeve and smaller ones in the Ebony
Points (they match in shape and align with the ones in the
butt sleeve). I then added eight ivory inlays next to the
butt cap for contrast and moved on to the wrap.
It was
a hard decision, but I really prefer Irish Linen over leather
so I went with the industry standard: black with
white specks. The cue was equipped with an Arnot Laminated Shaft
and a medium Moori tip. My new creation weighs a healthy
19.25 ounces. Here it is. My Ebony With Attitude. Of course,
I am keeping the prototype, but I will be happy to build
your own Ebony With Attitude.
