Curly
Maple - Goncalo Alves Road Player Custom Pool Cue
This is the first cue of the year 2005 and the
first cue to feature Arnot’s “Million Dollar
Finish”. It was made for my Web Master. We
appreciate his dedication to Arnot Q Custom Cues
and the many
contributions he has made to our web site. Thanks
Chad.
Chad wanted a custom cue that he felt comfortable
taking to the pool room. His other cues are so
nice that he
was afraid to take them out into the world. He
might just find that this cue is also too nice.
I had wanted to make this cue for some time but
just didn’t have an excuse to do so. Chad’s
timing was perfect. We started with seasoned Curly
Maple, added the Goncalo Alves Ringwork and Handle
and toped it off with the Goncalo Alves Joint. Of
course the joint was backed-up with Double Black
Linen Based
Fiber for strength and stability. We added a little
joint inlayed trim ring bordered by silver rings.
You should note that all sections of this cue are
reinforced
at each end by Linen Based Fiber to prevent splitting.
We had to precision make 31 trim rings for this cue.
Each ring had to be individually made, installed
and glued in place with 2-part Devcon Epoxy Glue.
The adhesive
shear strength (GPS) of this Epoxy Glue is 1,900
pounds per square inch. The Curly Maple was given
a very light
stain to accent the figure of the wood.
Arnot’s “Million Dollar” finish didn’t
cost $1,000,000.00. It was the first thought that
crossed my mind when I first examined the new state
of the
art UV Catalyzed Epoxy Finish. It is water clear,
very hard, tough and durable. It is resistant to
dings and
very forgiving. I am finally happy with a finish.
It has taken over 10 years. It has EVERYTHING a finish
is supposed to have.
This custom pool cue was created for the most
discerning Player. A player of unusual insight
and understanding
who wants a nice looking, solid hitting custom
pool cue but not one that so high priced that
you afraid
to use it. This pool cue is an unpretentious
deadly weapon of the highest caliber. This Road
Player
Has much Attitude!
