A cue set includes a 3/4 Chakte Viga Wood & Gaboon Ebony hand spliced snooker cue with mini butt, a telescopic extension & an aluminium case

  • Hello Welcome! This orange cue is highly figured, very unique one which is made by Michael Adams. It is a very excellent and rare good cue that is hand spliced by the Chakte Viga with Gabon Ebony. Chakte Viga is now very rare and in the near future will be unavailable, most likely for many years. Michael got this wood from one of his recent travels to the tropics, he came across large, well-figured logs of Chakte Viga and couldn't pass them up! It is very stiff and dense with closed grain. The Chakte Viga is a dream to finish, taking a glassy, silky-smooth finish, it is best known for its beautiful, golden orange wood and subtle grain pattern. The color of Chakte Viga is very amazing, it varies with age and exposure. It is initially light salmon to reddish orange brown, or pale pink to rich red-brown, but ages to a fairly uniform reddish orange. Moderately hard but a joy to work despite a slight odor when working. We use 4 pieces of this wood to splice the cue and it looks deluxe, grand & sharp.
  • Another main role is the black Gabon Ebony, it matches with the Chakte Viga very well. It is the Greek word for "fruit of the gods". Historically drinking goblets were made from its wood, as they believed it was an antidote for poison, and its use would ward off their enemy's evil intent. This may be the origin for many that think today, that a wooden snooker butt made of Gabon ebony has magical power. Gabon ebony wood is the most pure black of the lot, but can have occasional chocolate brown seams, especially in the middle of larger chunks. The wood is very dense thus no fillers are necessary. It finishes to a beautiful sheen, with limited effort.
  • Why does Michael select the Chakte Viga to make the cues?For its color--Orange is a very beautiful sharp color and it is the most living one in the warm color series, it stands for Health. Many people are very upset and annoyed these days for the finance crisis, they may feel sad and hopeless for they lost a lot of money or job in this crisis, but they ignore that they are still healthy, healthy body is the one which is fair to everybody and it can not be bought by money, it is said that orange color can increase people's stomach and make appetitive.

Special Gaboon Ebony butt hand spliced with Chakte Vige

  • This good cue is not only 100% hand made but also comes with a Quick Lock release, comparing with the common lock, it is easier, quicker to screw together. It can save your treasured time when you are in an important competition. The lock will be smooth and easier if you rub some butter on it, this method can also protect your lock from being rusty.

  • 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 cue is with 4 splices, nice color will impress you if you have ever seen it.

  • This cool black resin badge with golden character  makes your cue look luxury and exclusive, the horse logo & character above the badge is totally hand-craved by our cue makers. Compare with many cues with crisp shell badge sold on ebay, this kind of stable resin badge is more durable that it will never break up or fade. The badge will never drop off the cue for it is nailed firmly by 4 little golden nails.

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.

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.
