Description
Derby Two Piece Cue
This full size, 58 inch, two piece cue is crafted by Peradon in England from kiln dried, North American Ash and Ebony.
Manufacture & Specifications
The Ash is carefully selected for strength and straightness before an Ebony front splice with Red and Sycamore veneers are then spliced to the butt section to further enhance the appearance.
The cue is then turned to its final tapered finish before the numerous sanding and finishing processes are undertaken to achieve a ‘silk smooth’ finish.
To eliminate joint problems the two sections of the ‘quick action’ joint are each precision turned from a single piece of solid brass and fitted to ensure precise alignment of the Ash grain either side of the brass collar.
The butt is finished with a Peradon Derby name disc and ‘quick action’ butt end joint to accept the optional extensions on the ‘related products’ section of this page.
This cue features a solid brass ferrule and 9 ½ to 10mm Elkmaster tip.

* The quality of the ash shaft is of the utmost importance when crafting a cue. Shafts are extensively selected with only a small percentage of the pieces processed making the grade for production of these cues. In order to maintain the highest standards of selection Peradon purchase more ash than any other English cue makers.
