bulletComments:
bulletThis is a very special cue. It is the first 12 point cue that Kenny ever made AND it is one of the cues that I personally brought to a Photo Shoot for the 3rd Edition of the Blue Book of Pool Cues here in Northern CA. in the Fall of 2003. Unfortunately, the 3rd Edition is still not published (as I write this in April '05), so I don't know if the pictures of this cue (and many others that I brought to the shoot) will eventually make it into the color section, but rest assure, Martyne Bachman and her partner Hugh Tiernan did take pictures of it and if my memory serves me correctly, they were quite impressed with the work of a then relatively unknown cue maker named Kenny Murrell (from Rhode Island at the time). Hopefully, if all goes well and the 3rd Edition gets published sometime in 2005, many more people will get to know the fine work that Kenny does.
bulletThis cue comes with the Custom Ceylon Satinwood/Ebony Joint Protectors (with matching ring work) made by Kenny shown in the pictures above.
