DAVID ELLIOTT
HIGHLY FIGURED BOCOTE
& CURLY PURPLEHEART
MERRY WIDOW
|
An exquisite cue by an up and coming cue maker building solid, pretty sticks far ahead of his time. Quickly getting recognized for his solid construction techniques, great hit and balance, and pretty, classy designs. How do I know he's getting widespread recognition? I know because he has more cue orders than he can build - another reason to buy one here that is finished and ready to go to you tomorrow.

Just look at this bocote - it's world class. Beautiful color and tone with excellent grain and figure.
|
And as good as the bocote is, the curly purpleheart may be even better. Uniformly curled throughout its length in the handle, it is show-class wood for sure.
|
For this one he uses black phenolic rings with dash rings of white LBM rectangles, and uses them at all traditional locations throughout the cue. Simple, but classy.
|
He adds a black phenolic butt cap and joint for durability and aesthetics - the black accents really frame the beautiful bocote and purpleheart.
|
Look how uniformly curly this purpleheart is, and how highly figured the bocote is.
|
This cue is built with a stainless steel radial pin in a flat-faced joint, insuring that great Nitti/Elliott hit. It comes with two 13mm premium maple shafts with LBM ferrules and layered Wizard medium tips. It weighs 19.2 ounces (15.3, 3.9, 3.9) and is 58 inches long.
This is a simple design made elegant by the addition of classy little rings and outstanding wood choice. And, as well-built as they come.
