The Schon CX88 design uses birdseye maple with complimenting floating Ebony long diamonds with micarta inlays that gives the handle and sleeve a sophisticated design. Schon employs a small dedicated staff of full-time craftsmen who give great attention to quality, and, because the cues are produced in such small quantities, Master Cue Craftsman Evan Clarke is able to personally finish and test each cue, ensuring it stands up to the German meaning behind the name Schon… beautiful.
