Welcome to Character Cues.

I build cues out of spalted/stabilized PA hardwoods, live edge, and burl. Listings are for cues that are hanging in my shop while I turn them down to their final diameter, paired with a matched BurcHowdy low deflection shaft. The BurcHowdy is a torreified Black Birch low deflection high English shaft that aims/deflects like carbon fiber but also provides all the zing and feedback of wood, a next-level lifetime guaranteed high performance game changer.

All of my cues have cores. Most are full cores made of shagbark hickory or purple heart. Each cue page specifies the core material and whether it is full or a forearm tenoned to 3/4″ for the handle and butt sleeve.

All cues hang at least 6 months, being reduced in diameter each month, before entering the finishing process.

Newest on the top. Each cue’s product page will tell you its earliest finishing date, unless that date has passed. The cues toward the bottom have been hanging long enough to enter the finishing rotation in my next available slot.

During the finishing process, I turn the cue to its final size, drill/tap for a weight bolt, bore for the bumper, install the pin and finish the cue. 

Why buy a hanging cue?

Purchasing a cue before it enters the finishing rotation enables you to make interest-free payments on the schedule you prefer, and also lets you choose:

1) Pin thread: 3/8-10 modified or radial

2) Pin metal: (brass, stainless, aluminum)

3) Weight: (can be swung a little one way or the other)

4) Bumper, Extension: affords the opportunity to add a bumper with an extension insert if you also buy an extension

5) Fill color: I consult with you about the color of fill (colored sawdust or mica) used in the finish
