Cocobolo BMC Diamond Cue Info
Info on the Cocobolo BMC Diamond Cue
In 2015, Bob Meucci started experimenting with a Cocobolo version of the BMC Diamond Cue released in 2010 when he designed 2 cocobolo diamond cue prototypes. These two cues used cocobolo wood instead of the standard birdseye maple.
In 2017, Meucci decided to do a limited run of 50 cocobolo diamond cues and the first 2 were made. These first two have "1 of 50" and "2 of 50" written on the forearm under the "Robert J. Meucci" signature.
In 2018, we saw cocobolo BMC Diamond cue #5, but this time it was numbered "005 of 100". When asked, Barb from Meucci Cues said that Bob changed his mind and decided to expand production to 100 cues instead of 50.
See more in the "Cue Dates and Numbers" section below.
Change in Inlay Material
The inlay material used to border the diamonds in the initial few cues was mother-of-pearl. Apparently there was a tendency for the MOP to crack, and so now Meucci uses birdseye maple in the place of the mother-of-pearl on the newer cocobolo diamond cues they make. This generally means that an earlier cue with un-cracked mother-of-pearl inlays would be worth a bunch more as time goes on.

The inlays are set in cocobolo wood and features several large diamond inlays and white rings with black square inlays. Birdseye maple is used on the exterior of all diamonds. The earliest cues used mother of pearl for this, but that was swapped out for birdseye maple after Meucci noticed the MOP didn't hold up well. The ovals in the middle of the diamonds are made from authentic Abalone shell. In the case of the 6 trim diamonds, the Abalone used is a very rare "Heart of Abalone". |

The ovals in the middle of the diamonds are made from authentic Abalone shell. In the case of the 6 trim diamonds, the Abalone used is a very rare "Heart of Abalone".
