Description

READY TO SHIP. If you’d like the maple and purple heart shafts I’ve already prepared, just select them in the dropdown menu and select the tip you’d like installed for each. If you’d prefer a different shaft wood, select it in the dropdown. Price will be the same. I’ll prepare a new shaft within a couple days (with matching blue ring).

I’ll email/call you after purchase to ensure you get the tips you want, and the weight bolt added, if you like that option.  Or if you’d like to discuss the cue with me before purchase, reach me at clayton (at) charactercues.com and we’ll set up a time to talk.

*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.
