This cue weighs 19.7 ounces with a 5/16-14 stainless joint pin and is 57.5 inches long. In 2006 the owner had been out of work for over one year and a collector friend of mine purchased the cue.
本桿重19。7盎司﹐長57。5英寸。配有5/16-14不鏽鋼結合螺絲。 在2006年原買主因失業已有1年多﹐本桿被一位我的收藏家朋友所購得。
By February 2006 I do not have many more pieces of this blood-red amboyna left. I personally think it is one of the most amazingly beautiful colored woods in the world.
到2006年2月﹐我的這種血紅色的青龍木庫存已經不多了。 我個人認為這是世界上最美麗的有色木材之一。
A few months after this cue was sold I had an offer of $3,000.00 to make another one exactly like it. I declined. We can make a few minor inlay changes or add inlays inside the maple inlays to have a different cue. I would want to use the 3/8-10 joint pin in another one similar to this.
本桿售出數月後我收到一個3000美元的開價﹐讓我製作一根與本桿完全相同的球桿。我沒有答應。 我們可以通過改變一些鑲嵌圖形或在楓木鑲嵌中再安放一些鑲嵌﹐使得新的球桿式樣略有不同。 在下一根里我想使用3/8-10結合螺絲。
Look at those highly figured fiddle-back maple inlays.
請注意這些非常華麗的帶有皺狀紋理的楓木鑲嵌。
The black borders around all of the inlays are rare legal black camagong wood, not "you know what."
這些鑲嵌的黑色鑲邊都是稀有合法黑天鵝絨蘋果木﹐不是廉價物品。
This is simply a stunning piece of curly maple. In 2007 I still have many pieces of fantastic curly maple just as good as this nice wood.
這是一根華麗的帶有皺狀紋理的楓木。在2007年我還有許多像這根木材一樣優質的皺狀紋理楓木庫存。
It is not often that I ever see one of my cues again once it leaves my shop, but this cue was resold to a collector and made its way back into my shop waiting for the collector to fly in and pick it up. Below are photos of this cue more than two years after it originally left.
我的球桿一旦寄出﹐很少有機會還能再見到它們。但本桿因為被轉賣給了一位收藏家﹐ 它再次回到了我的店鋪﹐等待新的主人飛臨取貨。以下是離開兩年多後本桿的一些照片。
