No Added Fee for Most Customizations if Purchased During the Build 

BUILD STATUS:

February.

Note that this stick is a little shorter than most, and will come in at 57 inches or so, total. 58 is most common.

When I saw the natural black lines occurring in the most spalted sections of the ash, I knew I wanted a lot more ash. None of the other spalt markings are as bold, jagged, radical. The strike end of the stick is edgy as hell, like a buddy of mine who always seems to be ready when the fight finds him.

The fight always finds him.

The other end of the stick is pale. All of the wood is spalted/stabilized, but I arranged the pieces to show a gradually darkening mood. I think it’s going to be a stunner.

Arrives packed in a sporty Pool Dawg hard case with a tip shaper/chalker in the pouch.

*The stunning grain patterns and markings you see come from the wood being spalted, which means, rotten. Rotten wood is weak and unsuitable for building pool cues. But spalted wood that has been stabilized is another matter. Stabilized wood has been dried, placed in a vacuum, impregnated with resin, and cured in an oven until the resin hardens. The resulting wood is strong and durable enough to easily provide the strength required for a cue.

The wood comes from the woods around me in western PA.
