Crafted in England by Peradon, the Merlin ¾ jointed cue is 58 inches in length and is made from Ebony and North American Ash. Ash used for the cue is selected with the greatest care. Only timbers which are strong and straight can be used for making cues of this quality. The ebony butt timber is then spliced to it by hand and the cue is shaped to result in the characteristic four round point design.
A stunning red composite with reptile scale effect patterning is then hand spliced to the Ebony butt. The cue is shaped over some time to prevent stress to the timber until the desired tapered shape is achieved. After which, there are numerous sessions of sanding and finishing to result in a smoother and seamless finish. Both sections of the joint are turned with accuracy using one piece of brass and are precisely fitted a foot from the butt end resulting in 46 inches of shaft length. The butt comes with a name disc with the words Peradon Merlin. Extensions can be purchased separately and can be easily fitted to the butt end joint or the ¾ joint.
