ARIEL CARMELI
SOUTHWEST STYLE
SIX POINT COCOBOLA & EBONY
|
Here is one of Ariel's most popular designs - a six point "Southwest" style - this time in some gorgeous Mexican cocobolo with beautiful black ebony.
|
As always, he builds a classy cue that plays as good as it looks. His cues have a long reputation for a crisp, solid hit that many of the best players appreciate.
|
He uses the traditional railroad track rings at all locations, providing clear separation of the two woods.
|
All the points - the three long, and the three short - are veneered in a natural maple colored veneer. It's a subtle detail that enhances the great overall look of this stick.
|
The quality of these woods is exceptional. The cocobolo has a stunning reddish color with superior grain and figure.
|
The ebony is also of excellent quality. I have said many times that Ariel has one of the great sources for high quality woods. He constantly amazes with the beautiful color, tone, grain and figure in his wood choices.
|
As always, his points are long, even and sharp.
|
It's difficult to stop taking pictures of this beauty ... from every angle it looks more gorgeous.
|
He fits it with a black phenolic joint to match the butt cap.
| |
The veneer work is top-notch and all the fit and finish is outstanding, as we've come to expect with Ariel's cues.
|
He builds it with a 3/8 X 10 steel pin in a flat-faced joint. It comes with two of his premium maple 13mm shafts, LBM melamine ferrules and Triangle medium hard tips. It is 58 inches long and weighs 18.8 ounces (15.2, 3.6, 3.6).
This is a beautiful cue that is an excellent player. It's a classic design with pretty woods, excellent fit, and a superb finish.
PRICE: $2950 PLUS SHIPPING

This cue comes with a built-in extension receiver already installed. It fits most of the generic extensions, like Predator and others.
It is signed under the finish on the butt sleeve just above the butt cap.
