Sierra Custom Cues are a high-quality, very low production cue. Crafted by hand, with strong attention to detail, they are frequently hard-to-find since so few are made and the quality is so good. The guys at Sierra use the natural beauty of the materials they use to give the cues their attractive, natural look. The intricate, hand-cut inlays on some of their cues are some of the best work you will ever see. If you want a custom cue made by people that favor quality construction and beauty over mass-production, we suggest Sierra.
The Apache pool cue from Sierra is a gorgeous example of what a gifted craftsman can create. These are produced in very limited quantities. The forearm is a light mahogany-stained birdseye maple. There are four spliced points of rosewood in the forearm, set off with three veneers: maple, cherry maple, and ebony. The wraps are double-pressed and waxed, giving them a leather-like look and feel, and are mahogany in color, matching the forearm woods beautifully. The true craftsmanship of this Sierra Custom Cue lies in the detailed hand-inlays of the butt sleeve. There are four windows with the Apache?s signature design, each one comprised of fourteen separate pieces of wood (maple and rosewood), carefully cut and assembled to perfection. Each window is separated from the next by a single rectangle of rosewood. The windows are bracketed on the top and bottom with some beautiful ringwork. There are two thick rings on either side of rosewood, separated by a complex thin ring. The center ring contains sixteen pieces of wood. Eight long maple dashes alternate with eight small rosewood squares. The butt plate is ivory in color. The stainless steel joint, with 5/16 x 14 joint pin, is bracketed by Sierra?s signature dashed rings. These three-layer rings are black on the outside (one thin, one thick), sandwiching a thin ring layer consisting of sixteen maple dashes alternating with sixteen ebony squares. The maple shaft is crowned with a 13mm fibre linen ferrule with a Le Pro tip. Joint protectors are included.
The Catawba pool cue from Sierra is simple elegance. In this cue, the guys show that the natural beauty of the materials used can be just as valuable as inlay work. The forearm and butt sleeve are gray-stained birdseye maple. The wraps are soft-tanned, medium-grain calf skin leather, which simply feels delicious in your hand. The ivory colored butt plate is set off from the cue with a simple single ring of ebony. The stainless steel joint, with 5/16 x 14 joint pin, is bracketed by Sierra?s signature dashed rings. These three-layer rings are black on the outside (one thin, one thick), sandwiching a thin ring layer consisting of sixteen maple dashes alternating with sixteen ebony squares. The maple shaft is crowned with a 13mm fibre linen ferrule with a Le Pro tip. This is the cue for you if you value quality materials and construction, and excellent playability, over glitter and pizzazz. This is the sister cue to the Cherokee. Joint protectors are included.

Hands-down, the Cheyenne pool cue by Sierra Custom Cues is one of the most beautiful cues you will ever hold. The custom cuemakers at Sierra have always stressed materials and workmanship over flashiness. Here, you see a great balance in attractive wood tones, using accent features to bring out the beauty of the wood itself. The forearm is a lightly cinnamon-stained birdseye maple. It is spliced with three tall and thin ebony points, alternating with three shorter thin points. The wraps, double-pressed and polished Irish linen, black with white specks, are set off with silver rings. The butt sleeve, one of the best looking parts of this cue, is done in two parts. The top 4/5 of it is a piece of cinnamon-stained curly maple. The grain of this wood is simply incredible! It is separated from the lower 1/5 with silver and black rings. The bottom part of the butt sleeve is natural birdseye maple. The lightness of this wood, set between the cinnamon and the black of the butt plate, draws your eye into the cue. Dashed rings of maple and ebony ease the transition from the butt sleeve to the butt plate. The stainless steel joint, with 5/16 x 14 joint pin, is bracketed by Sierra?s signature dashed rings. These three-layer rings are black on the outside (one thin, one thick), sandwiching a thin ring layer consisting of sixteen maple dashes alternating with sixteen ebony squares. The maple shaft is crowned with a 13mm fibre linen ferrule with a Le Pro tip. If you are after a low-production custom pool cue of great quality, showcasing the beauty of woods with an elegant design, you should consider Cheyenne. Joint protectors are included.
The spirit of the southwest lives in the Navajo from Sierra Custom Cues. This pool cue features natural wood tones accented by touches of turquoise. The forearm is ginger-stained birdseye maple. There are four spliced points of rosewood set into the forearm, set off with veneers of maple, turquoise-stained maple, and ebony. The effect is eye-catching. The butt sleeve of the cue has been meticulously created with many small inlays. There are four rectangular maple windows. Set into these are smaller rectangles, made from tiny alternating inlays of maple and rosewood (32 squares per window!). The 4 maple windows are separated from each other by rectangles of rosewood. Immediately above and below the windows are thick rosewood rings. Next, there are thin rings of alternating rosewood dashes and turquoise-stained maple squares (32 inlays per ring). On the outside of these two rings is another thick rosewood ring. The butt plate is ivory in color. The stainless steel joint, with 5/16 x 14 joint pin, is bracketed by Sierra?s signature dashed rings. These three-layer rings are black on the outside (one thin, one thick), sandwiching a thin ring layer consisting of sixteen maple dashes alternating with sixteen ebony squares. The maple shaft is crowned with a 13mm fibre linen ferrule with a Le Pro tip. The subtle tint of turquoise in this cue wonderfully complements the dark rosewood, making for a truly beautiful cue. Joint protectors are included.
Don't take any chances! Having an extra shaft will keep you from having to use a house cue during the big tournament if you were to be in need of tip replacement!
