  • I think that the splices in the Dunn's cue are Zebrano, cross-cut to give a different look. Very nice effect, nice-looking butt by the way!

      Left to right:
      Peradon custom (cue wizard) ebony and maple, my primary playing cue.
      Aurora, ebony and ash, invisible joint, secondary playing cue.
      O'min Classic, ebony and ash.
      Aeon, ebony and ash, front ebony splice with 2 veneers, one blue and one green, rare cue.
      Craftsman, machine spliced, ebony and ash, old cue, very solid hit.
      Dunn's Cue, K105, ebony and maple, 4 splices of unknown wood with thick maple veneer.
      MYX, ebony and maple, 4 splices with veneers, good quality for price, nice cue.
      Brunswick, 1 piece, ebony and ash, very old cue, its my 9 ball cue, 10 mm beige ferule, rare and a player.
      John Spencer, center jointed, almost mint for age, a bit of a bend, do not use.
      Ray Reardon, center jointed, used this cue for a long time prior to getting my Peradon Custom.
      Barracuda, The Challenge Cue, center jointed, nice cue, do not use.
      Presently waiting for a John Parris, Paragon, again ebony and maple, nil splices, will surely post after receipt.
      Cheers,

        The Peradon Cue wizard is amazing, very well made and a very good player. Dunns is a very nice cue, plays well but its got a small knott in the maple shaft that I cannot get use to, it just drives me crazy.
        Cheers,
        I try hard, play hard and dont always succeed, at first.!!!!:snooker:

          • Was thinking of ordering a Dunns cue a bit back, sounds like they're a bit hit and miss as to whether you get a nice one or not. I guess you can't go far wrong for the money you pay for them.

If this is original and in mint condition it must be a very rare find and very valuable.?
              Cheers,
              Hi. Yes it's completely original and mint, almost untouched - it's certainly had very little play in its life. It has been stored by the last owner in its case for last last 40 or more years since the sellers father passed away. He thought it would be a shame to damage the case to open it, I'd imagine he was pleasently surprised with what he found when he finally did though! You hear stories like that a lot, but the seller was a well to do gent involved with the local golf club etc so I've no reason to not believe him (pics sent to Andy Hunter before making an offer on it). I imagine its worth a penny or two, but by and large I don't sell anything I can't find a better example of, and with this I'd struggle

                      Very nice, I've always admired the connoisseur style...

                      Is that a cue butt protector? I've been meaning to get one of those. Where did you get yours?

                              • My Lovely old Burroughes & Watts - Burwart Champion cue ... 58, 11mm,16.5 oz, 30mm..a great playing cue, with lots of cue power with easy and at least 60 years old and stiil dead strate!.. I use it to play 9-ball even though it's only 16.5oz in weight the gear that you can generated with this cue is amazing even with the big 9-ball white!!!
