BOBBY HUNTER
EBONY CUE
WITH AMBOYNA BURL WINDOWS
|
Ever since I started handling Bobby's cues, I've been extremely impressed with the quality of his work. Everything about his cues is top notch - fit, finish, sharpness of inlays, and most important, great designs. This cue is typical of the quality and look of his work today.
|
This cue is flat out gorgeous. In one way, it's just a solid ebony cue with some inlays. So, for those of you who think an ebony cue plays better than most others, this is one to consider. However, the design that he inlays into this cue is really beautiful.
|
He uses long amboyna burl boxes, framed in ivory, with small mother of pearl spear tips on the ends, highlighted in silver. Just take a look at the delicateness and sharpness of the inlays.
|
|
He wrapped this one with a beautiful piece of honey colored textured leather, which really complements the amboyna burl inlays. It's a great color, and really helps make this cue something special.
|
Bobby put the four ivory and burl "boxes" in the nose and four in the butt sleeve - two long and two short in each. It's definitely a classy look.
| |
|
He uses some of his favorite ringwork - circles of silver checks at the butt cap, above and below the wrap, and at the joint. It adds even more class to this beautiful stick.
|
|
This wrap is really a great addition to the cue.
|
He builds this one with a flat-faced ivory sleeve joint with his 3/8X10 modified pin.
|
As usual, he inlays his silver "H" logo in the black phenolic butt cap.
|
It weighs 19.4 ounces, and comes with two 13mm shafts with ivory ferrules. This is a terrific cue by one of the great cuemakers today. It's an excellent buy at $3100.
