Stick 185: Wormwood

Butt & Joint Protector: $875

BurcHowdy Burl & Joint Protector: $675

Spalted/Stabilized Ironwood (American Hornbeam) is dense to begin with. Stabilized, it’s quite hard.

Wormwood is constructed with a Beech full-length core; stabilized American Hornbeam is quite hard. Expect a medium-firm hit.

The Name? The Ironwood has wormholes and there are seven rings. Wormwood in Revelation is in the Third Trumpet (of 7); the Trumpets are part of the 7th Seal. Wormwood blazes through the sky and poisons a third of the water on the planet. Praying I’ll be at the wedding instead.

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).
