NORTH DEMON
EBONY AND AMBOYNA BURL
SPLIT-HANDLE MERRY WIDOW
|
Here is an absolutely gorgeous merry widow by North Demon. Made from beautiful black ebony and amboyna burl, its beauty is enhanced even more by the addition of silver, copper and abalone rings.
I took this cue back on trade against a more expensive one, and had it completely refinished. The butt is in mint condition, and the shaft in excellent condition, barely showing sign of previous play.
|
This is a sleek, classy cue that will make any owner proud. As usual, the work is meticulous and tight, the design is exquisite, the woods high quality, and the hit and balance is outstanding.

This amboyna burl is about as good as it gets - great vibrant color and dazzling burl figure.
|
The ringwork in this cue is delicate and striking. He uses on ring pattern above the butt cap, below and above the handle, at the joint, and on the shaft ring collar. Then, he uses a different, even a bit fancier ring in middle of the handle with small abalone inlays. This work is as tight and clean as can be.
|
He builds it with his usual titanium radial pin with a flat-faced joint. It comes with one premium maple shaft, hand-tuned by Cheng, with a juma ferrule and a new layered tip.
|
It weighs 19.0 ounces, but can be made heavier by use of his weight bolt kit, if desired. It is 58 inches long.
As with all ND cues, it is fitted with a rubber bumper with a female thread to accept Predator and other generic extensions.
