bulletCondition:
bulletThis cue is in absolutely beautiful shape. It has just been completely refinished and I've had a Black Lizard skin wrap put on it to replace the original, worn Black/White Irish Linen wrap.
bulletComments:
bulletThis cue was purchased from the original owner who bought it at Chalkers in San Francisco in 1996, and according to the owner, directly from Martyne Bachmen who was working the counter on that particular day!
bulletIt is a very early Cousins cue (#73) and is signed and numbered under the wrap by Gary Wright.
bulletWhile he was re-wrapping the cue Kenny made a set of absolutely beautiful Birdseye and MP Ivory Custom Joint Protectors that truly add an elegant finishing touch to Gary's creation (and will be included with the cue).
bulletThis cue is beautifully balanced and has "perfectly" matched shafts.
bulletAll Cousins cues are considered to be one-of-a-kind, and with the addition of the new Black Lizard wrap, I can say with reasonable certainty that you will not find another one quite like it anywhere on the planet!
bulletAs a side note, Olivewood is considered one of the rarest woods on the planet (right along side Pink Ivory) and it is highly unusual to find cues (especially points) made from it
