this was formally a riley dufferin cue, made from quality straight grain maple and macassar ebony/iv given it the ultimate treatment by removing all the lumps and bumps, re-ferruled, re-weighted, and added four splices

Drooling here lol. It has to be my favourite looking cue, love maple and the contrast with the ebony is just pure class. Is it spoken for J?

Nice BP. Are you bearthing the weight higher up under the longer splices?

[j6uk]

its weighted with pure wood

Great job bud. That cue is going to have a lovely woody feel to it. My Purist is the same BP, though 0.3 ounce lighter. How much ebony did you have to put on to get that weight up; does it go half way up the cue?!

[j6uk]

it has 21 inch splices

[itsnoteasy]

Do you find the maple shafts end up generally stiffer than the average ash shaft J?

[j6uk]

havent worked much with maple but the last few iv come across have been stiff.
