Schon CX08 - Cocobolo with Kingwood Pool Cue

Schon CX08 - Cocobolo with Kingwood Pool Cue

Gorgeous cocobola wood on the forearm and sleeve of the Schon CX08 custom pool cue shares the spotlight with diamond shaped kingwood inlays and ivory notched diamond and triangle shaped inlays. These eye-catching, meticulously inlaid designs saddle up to stained Birdseye Maple on the forearm and a black Irish linen wrap with white specks. Great attention to detail can be found in the ebony outlines and thin cocobola and nickel silver rings. Beyond its outward beauty, this cue gives the performance of a stiff hit with its piloted stainless steel joint and shorter taper. In business since 1981, Schon employs a small in-house staff of full-time craftsmen who give great attention to quality. And because the cues are produced in smaller quantities, designer Evan Clarke is able to personally finish and test each cue, ensuring it stands up to the German meaning behind the name Schon…beautiful.
