Here’s another that’s been in pieces for weeks and I finally grabbed a half morning to get it together.
Naturally, the pics right now are crappy. HOWEVER….
I shoulda called the butt JUST DAMN or BONKERS BEAUTY or HOLD MY TUNA SAMMICH, JANE; something over the top.
Because the spalting and grain are out of this world. Squiggles all over the joint. The deepest burnt red (rings) I’ve ever managed. A black/green handle with the craziest network of surface level pocks and crevices — already partly filled with purple mica/epoxy.
Fortune Favors the bold.
Are you?
As with all my hanging butts, if you’re seriously, seriously mulling a purchase but have to make sure you have an explanation that’ll hold water with the Mrs, let me know you need a 24-hour password protect and I’ll lock the page for you.

Stick 128: El Jefe

You have options. Already have a favorite shaft? El Jefe would love to be its boss. Want a full badass Character Cue experience? Pair with a purpleheart shaft for the ultimate break monster. What’s that? You already have a break cue? No problem. El Jefe is the alpha. The prime. The cock of the walk. Pair with carbon fiber, birch, or any damn thing you want.
Purpleheart is dense, with a Janka score of 2,520 lbs. American Hornbeam (that stunningly-grained blue handle section) (AKA Ironwood in these parts), has a Janka of 1,780, making it among the densest US hardwoods.
That’s what makes El Jefe, well… Boss.
What is Janka? From Wood Database:
“The actual number listed in the wood profile is the amount of pounds-force (lbf) or newtons (N) required to imbed a .444″ (11.28 mm) diameter steel ball into the wood to half the ball’s diameter. This number is given for wood that has been dried to a 12% moisture content.”
Hard maple, prized among many cue builders, has a Janka of only 1,450.
What’s it mean, really? First, the wood is harder to dent. Second, it’s heavy. Third, the hit is as close to zero vibration as you’re going to get. Just a solid connection with no backsass. When El Jefe says move, the cue ball moves. When El Jefe says dance, the cue ball dances. You get the point.
El Jefe, simply, is the boss.

This butt took forever. I worked on it bit by bit over several months. The original layout used the forearm piece as a middle section with black and white stabilized beech on each end. The idea at that time was that the red inlaid maple would suggest eyes and the green, lizard skin. But the pieces for each end disappointed me every time I looked at them so I waited until a color combination worked better for me, and that happened when I replaced the ends with gold colored beech.
But they weren’t the right thickness to use on each end. One was too skinny. So I shifted the green to the forearm and used the gold as a handle. Once that was in place, it was a matter of testing every color I could find to strike the right balance between, yeah, that works and what the skippy fuck was this guy thinking?
The butt features 16 red diamond inlays and 8 lizards. The lizards are filled with different colored epoxy. I have no idea what the final colors will be, as I filled the lizard shape holes four times each, alternating colors. If any come out all one color on the final cut, I’ll dig out the middle with a Dremel and give it a second color.
I fall in love with each cue I build but just wow boy howdy I fell hard for this one. Cannot wait to see it with a finish.

Stick 120: Swing Hard
Quick View6 monthly payments. No interest.
Woods Used: spalted maple (from Alpaca Luke’s) and/or spalted tiger maple, black cherry burl (handle), soft curly maple inlays.
Cue Build:
- Dark blue on the ends of the forearm and butt sleeve, purple between; choicest wood from the cook, and I’ll be using the best stuff I have for the entire cook. We’ll have some extraordinary wood to work with. The maple and tiger maple is heavily lined, some quite curly, and has areas of visible contrast in color. The handle will be dark or electric blue black cherry burl.
- The forearm has 4 floating points made of bright silver super curly maple
- 8-diamond rings of the same curly maple are on either side of the black cherry burl handle
- The 8-diamond rings have window rings (alternating blue and purple) with thick nickel silver rings on either side of them.
- The black cherry burl handle will be dyed blue but will have a reddish hue, and the grain will be super animated and swirling burl, making the handle look like a wooden gemstone.
- The butt sleeve will feature an inlaid image honoring RH’s son.
- The effect will be a darkish cue with swirling blue and purple, deep black lines and gentle shading changes within each section, with highly contrasting brightness given by the floating points, diamond inlays, and nickel silver rings.
- We’ll test collar colors to see what works best, selecting from white (Tomahawk or Juma), black phenolic, or 3 shades of brown phenolic.
- Ferrule of violet Juma Gemstone.
- Shaft of birch (a little more attitude than maple; best English of my 10 species) with matching ringwork and colors as found on the butt.
- The cue’s 6″ extension will be made of the same wood as the butt sleeve, again with matching ringwork.
