      A word about shafts:

      I build shafts out of ten species and carbon fiber. My advice is this: if you have a shaft you love to use, buy this butt to match that shaft. If you’ve heard of a famous shaft that you’d like to try, buy that shaft to match this butt.

      However, if you’re into the art of it and want to have fun, try something new, and make your Character Cue fully badass, consider one of my ten species or carbon fiber with a like-wood decorative ring.

      Spalted/Stabilized Black Locust, Beech, Walnut BUTT with Black Cherry Burl/Spalted Maple JOINT PROTECTOR: $775

      This is the first butt to become available on the “ready to ship” tab on CharacterCues.com for a long while. I could have named it A WALK THROUGH THE WOODS with all the different species involved.

      I am enamored with the depth of the burl in the joint protector and with the knots in the black locust, the pale wood next to the butt sleeve. (Did you know Black Locust glows under a black light? Indeed. It causes a stir. And then of course, I can’t fail to mention the walnut’s chatoyance. It’s what they invented the word for. And the beech! Good night! Bolts of orange through bolts of black and brown and burnt bolts — !!!

      Plus I added a quarter inch cap of maple on the end of the joint protector just for the squiggles. And the image the squiggles drew in my mind’s eye were of a frog looking off, cap askance, at a summer love arriving to the party to party.

      Equipped with extension-accepting bumper.

      Woods Used: Black locust (glows in black light), beech, walnut

      Butt Length: 29″ including bumper

      Full Core: hard maple

      Pin: Radial, brass

      Collar: .85″ Phenolic

      Butt Widest: 1.24″

      Weight: 13.3 – 15.3 oz (with weight bolt added before shipping. Be sure to ask because I have to epoxy the extension bumper before shipping, and after that, the weight isn’t changing.)

    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.

    A look at stickbuilding

    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).
