Grey Ghost Custom Pool
Cue
Sold
to John Morse – Dayton, NV
Arnot has pioneered the
use of laminated woods in fine cues. The wood
has absolutely no downside. Most exotic and rare
woods
used in custom
cues today are a “trade off”. You get something
and you give up something. Most of the time it is a
weight-color issue but sometimes it is more serious.
Some woods are just not suitable for cues but we see
them used all the time by other cuemakers. A good indication
that the wood should not be used is when it must be “Cored”.
Coring means to drill a hole all the way through the
forearm and insert a piece of stable wood such as maple.
I believe all wood should be stable or it should not
be used. That is just my personal opinion. The Grey
Ghost started with a piece of laminated and dyed wood
that had been seasoning in my shop for over 3 years.
The grey color (also called silver) brings to mind
a time in this country when there was a battle going
on between the Northern States and the Southern States.
Every night somewhere in this country there are many
battles going on in poolrooms. Though they don’t
result in death (most of the time) they are non the
less serious contest between men. It helps to have
a fine cue in your hand – one that will
deliver a true, solid and consistent hit each
and every
shot.
As I started building this cue
I saw that it needed some Ivory Diamonds in the Butt
Sleeve. Then the forearm looked naked and also needed
matching Ivory Diamonds.
Next the joint was lacking so I added 8 small Ivory Diamonds. The only
thing it might need to bring out the color better
would be a black leather wrap.
