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.
Read about the different species here: https://charactercues.com/comparing-10-shaft-wood-species/

Stick 146: Sir
Quick ViewCurrent Bid: $500.00
I started the auction on SIR while finishing it and uploading pics to the Character Cues facebook group. You can revisit that history and other sticks here.
This is a rare butt. I’ve only made 4 with any toadstool in them; this has the most. First time for joint protectors made from toadstool. It shrinks a lot when being dried and stabilized, and due to the growth patterns the pieces I stabilized were unable to provide any large parts. I have one more piece of toadstool and I have Amish friends sourcing more for me . I hope to get some this fall, but I’m also fine with gems being rare.
So the butt named Sir is a solid piece of hickory with slot rings and toadstool. Has a 2 ounce weight bolt in the butt that can be taken out and replaced with smaller increments, as well as an extension-accepting bumper (takes a 5/16-14 thread). Yes, I have another piece of toadstool that could form the basis of an extension. $450-$550 depending on length.
I mixed orange and copper mica with CA glue to fill the gaps that would otherwise all but disappear under a finish. The result is a glimmering world of tubules and geometric patterns that make one marvel at the Creator’s wild ass… creativity. I absolutely delight in seeing the care he put into a fungus because I’m waaaaaaaay cooler than a fungus. I rest knowing he puts that care into me too; up down big small he’s there. Sorry to get too God Freak Real with you, but sometimes you have to shout the truth. We live in a magnificently created universe.
Exhibit #1: Toadstool.
Woods Used: Solid Shagbark Hickory with a stabilized TOADSTOOL butt sleeve sided by triple slot rings.ÂCollars: white Tomahawk (premium stuff)ÂExtension Hardware Thread: 5/16-14ÂButt Length: 30″ (With bumper and joint protector, requires 32″ case)ÂButt Weight: 13.9 – 15.9 oz (contains removable 2 oz weight bolt, 3/8-16.)ÂPin: Radial (brass)ÂJoint Collar: .85″ÂWidest: 1.236″ÂWarranty: Lifetime
