Mine has a squirt pivot point of 17-18 inches, similar to my other Josey shafts. I don't know whether that's *because* it was in the lake or in spite of it. The shaft I have is a really nice piece of wood. Lake Superior is particularly deep and particularly cold. Timeless Timber is a name of a particular company that's fished this wood out of Lake Superior. thnaks guys really appreciate your replies. are timeless timber shafts that great of a hit compard to standard rock maple shafts? i can ask keith about all of these but i guess i want to get your opinions coz i dont want to be bias. i have a problem with sneaky petes coz if the butt is thick i tend to hold the cue and move my grip forward thus shortening my bridge and there is too much cue at the back of my grip which knocks the balance out of my stroke. i was wondering if the butts of his petes are thick coz in the pictures it seems thick. i want to get his basic cue but with a timeless timber shaft its way off my budget. i am in the market for a josey sneaky since that is all i can afford. i have average filipino sized hands and the taper of the bender sneaky butt is just perfect. i played with a friend's mike bender sneaky and the butt feels really nice just thin enough that it fits my hands perfectly. I also like to get your feedback how his sneaky pete butt thickness in the grip area compared to the mike bender sneaky pete butt taper. ![]() and i like to know how his timeless timber shafts play as compared to his standard rock hard maple shafts if you have played with these for sometime? i like to ask anyone of you who owned and shot with a Keith Josey sneaky pete for a while not test hits. It is also most definitely a keeper.Been a while since my last post. Regardless of that though, it is one of the drums I have which gets the most attention from people and it’s certainly one of the best looking for sure. That was based on a recording I did with the drum in 2008. I’ve always thought this drum was slightly more dry sounding than regular maple drums but that might just be me. The hardware is all 24k gold plated and the engraving was done by John Aldridge. It was made in 2006 from what I was told was one of the last – and more densely figured (meaning the wood is more visually appealing) – boards that Johnny had left. This month’s drum, however, is a 1 of 1, which is why is that much cooler and a bit more valuable. ![]() ![]() That was one of a run of about 200 drums worldwide. More recently, I understand the term has been slightly appropriated by DW and has also been used to describe other woods of a similar historical background.Īnyway, that drum twenty years ago was one of the Timeless Timbers built by Johnny Craviotto and marketed by DW. You can find out a bit more about the wood here –. ’ Timeless Timber’ refers to the wood/sunken logs found in the early 1990s in the depths of Lake Superior (and the wider Great Lakes area) which had been cut down in the 1800s and been submerged in the cold water for over 100 years. Admittedly, I took a small bank loan to buy it and it wasn’t cheap, but I finally had one of my bucket list drums. Roll on some seven years and I managed to buy this specific drum from Steve Maxwell in Chicago. I wanted a Timeless Timber drum from that point onwards. It was in my local drum shop about twenty years ago, in a glass case opposite the counter. Ok, it wasn’t this snare, but was one very much like it, although dare I say it, this one is better looking and more collectible. The first drum I ever saw and thought, ‘if I ever had the money…’ was a Craviotto Timeless Timber snare. ![]()
