Twisted
Sister Collection
The Twisted
Sister Collection was inspired by two cues that
were made in 1998 called Othello and Desdemona.
Othello
was awarded the Peoples Choice Award at the 1998 Gallery
of American Cue Art show in New York City
The Twisted
Sister Collection represents an Inlay Technique known
as Intarsia. Intarsia is an age-old technique that
involves gluing together many pieces of material at
different angles to create a specific design. In the
Twisted Sister Collection over 800 individual pieces
in each cue are meticulously glued together at ever
changing angles and degrees thus creating a design
that twists around the cue. This technique is very
time and material consuming. From design to finish,
these three cues were in process for over nine months.
The individual names and materials used in these cues
are listed below.

in the wrap area is made of Padauk, Mahogany, and
Ebony. Silver, Ebony, Padauk and Honduran Rosewood
