Selling at $2100.00 to include shipping (USA only) and Paypal fees...the cue is a bargain at this price.
JOSS cues are excellent players and this old school (early-mid

So, when looking at things from this perspective a piece of shaft wood can have both attributes tight grain

This beauty is unique, and rare, and amazingly different...... All aspects of this cue flow together, and make it stand out. Cue has never been chalked, has 2 13mm shafts with ivory ferrules. ALL white on the cue is ivory.
$8900 shipped and insured. Would consider trades for a Gus, or box style cues.
Feel free to reach out with questions, or if you need more pics or info. dcbassguy@hotmail.com

I used to use one. A lot of the smaller ones you see will be hard to modify to do pool cues with. Some of the cue specific machines like I make are a little easier to do inlays and make patterns with. But if you also want to do fine engraving the 3U will do that much better.

Next, I made a collar out of 1/2 inch plywood that fits just

[QUOTE=billiardcue;1844454]Ray Martin's personal Balabushka.
George made this masterpiece for Ray circa 1970.
Interesting inlay pattern in butt sleeve, look like "angel's wings".
Imagine how many 100+ ball runs this cue is responsible for.

With the shaft attached, you've got a 42"+ lever out in front of it.
That tenon can be strengthened with a screw running THRU it but that's not always

most players don't like the look, other than that they play just fine if you like a very solid shaft.
