A cue set includes a 60 inch 3/4 Gabon Zebra wood snooker cue with mini butt, a Free extension and a aluminum case.

Hello! Welcome!!! The cue is our most skillful one. If you are a careful buyer, you will find that the position of the 4 splice is not as the usual ones, the 4 inclined splice are distributed symmetrically on left and right hand side, which will cost triple time to finish and deal with a lot of much care. For we use the best quality zebrawood which are come from quarter sliced material to splice the cue so that it is really a craft work. Zebrawood is highly decorative, you may be very familiar with it for you can see it from furniture, floor lamps, cabinets, marquetry, inlays, and decorative veneer. Light gold color, with narrow streaks of dark brown to black, make it add a unique feel to any decorating project. Heavy and hard, it can be polished to a high luster, but it is rather coarse in texture. Almost all the zebrawood sold on the market is quarter-cut. Veneers are also  quarter-sliced to produce a straight grain, straight lined appearance, because plain-slicing produces a wild and unappealing appearance.

The cue is in standard 60 inch long, which is rare to be sold and seen on ebay. It is with good balance and it is fit for the tall snooker players. Only limited quantity, don't miss it!

 

Special hand spliced butt

  • This good cue is not only 100% hand made. The shaft is made by North American Ash, with nice mature grain. The cue is straight and in good balance, perfect finish and nice details can be seen everywhere, ideal for owning by a serious player.

    The reason why the craftsman use Gabon Zebrawood is:

  • Why do we choose Gabon Zebrawood? Gabon which is with small population (less than two million) is located on the Atlantic coast of central Africa. Located on the equator, Gabon has an equatorial climate with an extensive system of rainforests covering 85% of the country, the average temperature is 26 degree which is the most suitable for zebra trees. Abundant & non-polluting natural resources is another reason why we choose zebrawood from it. It is sometimes found in pure stands along river banks, but they are difficult to harvest because they can grow to very large sizes and are often located in inaccessible areas. Harvesting difficulties and the need for quarter sawing, instead of the more economical plain sawing, are add to the overall cost of the timber.

Introduction of Zebra Wood

Wood Description: A heavy hard wood with a somewhat coarse texture, with the typical so-called zebra stripes, often with an interlocked or wavy grain. The heartwood is a pale golden yellow, distinct from the very pale colour of the sapwood and features narrow streaks of dark brown to black. Zebrawood can also be a pale brown with regular or irregular marks of dark brown in varying widths. It is almost always quartersawn to get the exciting alternating colour pattern and a straight grain. It is a true exotic wood, with limited availability and relatively high prices.

Finishing: Difficult to finish because of the dual nature of the grain but finishes well once it's filled. The wood itself has a lustrous appearance.

Machining: This wood is easy to saw but difficult to work with. Of all the woods I have handled, this rates as the worst to plane. It does not seem to matter which direction it is feed into a planer, it tears out badly in either direction. Experts recommend the use of a belt sander as the only feasible way to get a good smooth finish.

 

Perfect Match Snooker Cue Set

  • I will send the cue set to you 100% as pictures showed!  A whole cue set includes a 3/4  ZEBRA WOOD hand spliced snooker cue with mini butt, a new design telescopic extension and an aluminium case. The strong cue case can protect your cue, extension inside in safe & excellent condition, a good handle is convenient for you to carry the cue set everywhere! Four plastic corner protection can prevent your cue case from scratching or cracking. The extra accessories can be also put inside the cue case if you need, the aluminium gets enough big room.

  • I will put extra 5 pieces tips with your cue set, you can change the tips whenever and wherever you need. You may ask how the tips is a good one? The good tips must be hard enough, for a soft tips is not good for exerting strength, so that when you choose the tips, choose the one with good pressure and hardness. If you found your tips is too soft, I've got a good idea, heat it before sticking, then the retrenching tips will be much harder.

Quality Guarantee

  • Tip: We can guarantee all of our cues are hand made and hand spliced. It is very easy to judge the cue is hand spliced or the painted, you can see the natural grain of the wood timber or see the bottom of the snooker cue, if you still don't believe that the cue is hand spliced, please use a edge tool to scratch the butt, the stained butt will be easy to see the original wood chips if you scratch it but the hand spliced one will not. You can also use the thinner to judge it too.

  • Step: There are 4 important working steps to finish a good cue: cue design, wood timber selected, cue made and perfect finished. All of the working procedures are finished very well and successfully depending on the wisdom and experience of our cue makers. For making progress of producing new cues, we always summarize the opinion from our customers and update the new request from cue market, so that our cues are always in new design and the skill of making cues are getting more and more perfectly.

  • Notice: We guarantee that our cues are 100% same as description, we will exchange the cue set to you if the cue set is damaged or not as described as the advertisement, we don't exchange the cue for you for the reason that you don't like the cue and you feel the cue is not good, for different buyers will have different opinion and habit to use snooker cues.No two cues are with same shaft grain, the grain of shaft is unique, but we prove that the cue is straight and with good grain.
