Bill Schick Hall of Fame Custom Cue – Ebony, Holly, Malachite & Ivory Masterpiece

Offered for sale from my private collection is an extraordinary custom cue by legendary cue maker Bill Schick, an ACA Hall of Fame inductee and one of the most respected names in American cue making history.

This cue is, quite simply one of Schick’s true “monster” builds. A Truly Unique Design.

Purchased directly from Bill at the 2004 International Cue Collector Show in Park City, Utah, this cue remained in a private collection for nearly 20 years before entering my own private collection, where it has remained for the past two years.

It is an exceptionally rare and visually stunning example of Schick’s unmistakable artistic style.

Built from deep black ebony, the cue features:
• Large holly inlays
• Extensive malachite work
• Genuine ivory throughout
• Fine silver accent work

What makes this cue especially remarkable is its shifting visual presentation: the cue looks dramatically different when rotated 90 degrees.

From every angle, the design transforms into something entirely new — a level of artistic execution rarely seen even among elite custom cues.

The forearm and butt sleeve are masterpieces of asymmetrical visual balance and meticulous craftsmanship.

Craftsmanship & Details

Schick carefully used:
• malachite highlights,
• silver accent work,
• ivory dot detailing,
• and intricate geometric layouts

to create a cue that is bold without ever becoming excessive.

The result is a cue that feels:
• elegant,
• architectural,
• and unmistakably Schick.

The cue is finished with a beautifully installed black lizard leather wrap, adding even more sophistication to the overall presentation.

Interesting Provenance

Bill stated that he originally built this cue for himself to play with before ultimately deciding to sell it.

Schick traditionally only signed cues he personally played with, which explains why this cue may have seen minimal personal use by Bill himself — though it presents essentially as new.

Collector Significance

Bill Schick produced relatively few cues during his lifetime, often only a handful each year, making high-end examples like this increasingly rare and highly sought after.

Between:
• the Hall of Fame pedigree,

• heavy ivory content,
• direct ICCS provenance,
• and exceptional originality,

this cue stands as one of the finest Schick customs you are likely to encounter publicly offered.
