bulletComments:
bulletThis cue is completely original (including the tip!) according to the original owner. Candidly, I don't especially like the balance of this cue (way too far backend loaded for my taste), but I'm "in love" with the incredible figure of the Bubinga that was used to make it (the pictures really don't do it justice!). I also really like the feel of the cork wrap....now I don't know how many cork wraps have survived from this era, but this one is in incredible shape and the feel of it in your grip hand is hard to describe....sort of like "velvet". I don't really know how durable a cork wrap is when used daily, but this one has a very special place in my "shoot this cue occasionally" collection, so it really doesn't make any difference to me in this particular case.
