***Stevenson Champion cue by Burroughes & Watts***

I know who bought that cue, and he saw it before parting with money so likes it a LOT, his initials are DD

As a playing cue? What happened to maximus being the best cue makers in the world ever?!
Still too much, from Gordon's cue price guide, Ave @£140, Median £150, highest ever £225 (based on 20 ebay sales) - I think it's just been beat!

Well people who have money always seem to pay too much
DD likes an older cue I feel, Maximus probably very nice but not quite the same

quelle surprise! i am not sure that cue has not had a sprinkle from tony glover though....

I cleaned the cue up and refinished the butt before Dom bought it, he mailed me to say he has changed the ferrule and taken it down from 10.9mm to 10.4 and re-lacquered the cues butt, looks even more stunning now!

Was a surprise Dom asking about the cue and then buying it from me, he said in his words " it's probably the most amazing cue I have ever had!" hope it does him proud.

DD likes ANY cue.

He takes a fancy to cues the same way as poeple take a fancy to a cake when they are in a coffee shop. Varies day to day.

Ha, he's a gem that fella.

don't keep them to yourself

[jrc750]

I hope Dom doesn't mind ?

[jrc750]

Was a lot rougher when i had it

[MinnesotaSlim85]

just a slight difference , it really did clean up well, just go's to show what can be done to a cue, I thought it looked nice after I finished it!, looks like brand new now!

[DeanH]

very nice, do we know who did the work?

[MinnesotaSlim85]

Dom said the top and bottom splices are dark Ebony, the side splices are mottled Ebony, which really shows up under his table lights, looks great

Dom does it himself, but prior to that MinnesotaSlim85 did an absolute amazing job on it

[MinnesotaSlim85]

well I did the work on the butt sorted the lifted splice out, filled any ding/chips and removed the DP from the flat. Dom did say he had done it himself... Tony Glover has done work for him before on cues in the past.

I'm not bad for a learner , Dom's work on it though looks superb!
