    A Jesus Comment Will Win This Burl Cue

    Clayton
    May 31, 2025

    2000 years ago a man worked miracles in front of thousands, healed the sick, raised the dead, said things only the divine could conceive to say, fulfilled so many prophesies the math calls it impossible, was murdered, entombed, and then seen alive in the flesh.

    Welcome to Character Cues!

    I’m Clayton Lindemuth, gritlit author and cue builder. My Character Cues are crafted from spalted Pennsylvania hardwoods, live edge, and burl from the woods around me. I process and stabilize, slow dry, and build cues the old school way. Not in a hurry. Ain’t setting records. Work day and night and build less than 50 a year.

    Cuemaking is my divine charge and my goal is always to showcase God’s creativity and way. I’m proud of these sticks not because of my part, but because their beauty is palpable — it baffles me. I could never have dreamed them, yet they came from my hands. Only God can put words in the mouth of a mule.

    Signed, Numbered, Impossible to Replicate

    Every Character Cue is a unique creation. Burl grows where trees are attacked and suffer. The fungus that eats rotting wood leaves lines and colors behind. Suffering, death and decay become cue art. Again, only God…

    Each stick has a name and a story.

    Hand Crafted for You

    Uncompromising Quality: Butts hang 6+ months, reduced in size monthly

    Personalized Options: Buy a butt while it’s hanging to make payments over time and choose your pin (3/8-10 mod standard; Radial, Uniloc QR available), collar, and weight.

    Shaft Versatility: Pair a Character Butt with your favorite shaft. Or get the full Character Cue experience with a matching shaft and/or extension. Choose from carbon fiber, maple, ash, beech, walnut, cherry, white oak, honey locust, hickory, purple heart, or sassafras. 3″ -12″ Extensions optional — both simple and matching the cue design.

    Owners love Character Cues signature poise and hit, driven by full-core construction and the natural density of stabilized wood (check product pages for core specs, and take into consideration tip, ferrule material, shaft material and pin size when analyzing hit).
