Anyone else think the badge on this looks a bit iffy?

To my eye the ash and the 3/4 joint look newer than the badge in the photos. If the seller stated it had been refinished, (which he doesn't ) it may go some way to explaining that, but even if that was the case, why not get the badge tidied up at the same time......

There seems to be a load of excessively expensive and some maybe questionable Parris cues on facebook marketplace recently. Do people really buy them???

the photos do not help; on some angles it does look like possible glue over run and uneven setting, but difficult to tell from the photos.

Someone's been snorting the linseed oil a bit too much.

A snooker Cue is just a tapered piece of wood, with some reasonably intricate work done on splicing and veneers etc. Mr Chippendale would have had a chuckle or two to himself if he saw how much money was spent on snooker cues these days when a large number of people buy their sofa from DFS for less.......:glee:

what I'm trying to say is, in terms of carpentry crafts skill, making a cue isn't really the height of craftsmanship in woodworking.

Wow, talk about insane pricing.
Surely nobody will pay that much?

I had the luck to find a jpu this week locally and was able to try it out first, loved it, but no way i'd pay that much.

On the cue design..is it just me that thinks secondary splices shouldn't be covering that much of the ebony? A 50\50 split to me looks better.
