Joss JOS02 Cue — Handcrafted Birdseye Maple Pool Cue with Mother-of-Pearl Inlays

Short Description

Some cues are tools. The Joss JOS02 is something you’ll want to talk about.

Built around a naturally figured Birdseye maple sleeve — one of the most visually striking woods in cue making — the JOS02 features six sets of hand-set mother-of-pearl diamond and circle inlays, connected by rich ebony lines that run the full length of the butt. The black and white Irish linen wrap keeps your grip secure and comfortable, while the hard rock maple shaft delivers the low deflection and precise feedback that serious players depend on.

Behind every detail is a family that has been building cues the right way for over 33 years. The JOS02 isn’t a production cue. It never was.

Why the Joss JOS02 Cue Is a Must-Have

A lot of cues look good in photos. The JOS02 looks better in person — and plays better than it looks.

Designed for players who want performance and presence in the same package, the JOS02 brings together materials and craftsmanship that are genuinely rare at any price point. Here’s what makes it worth your attention:

• Visual Impact That’s Actually Unique: Highly figured Birdseye maple develops its distinctive “eye” pattern naturally — it can’t be stained or stamped in. Every single JOS02 sleeve looks different, which means yours will be one of a kind in every sense of the phrase.
• Inlay Work That Has to Be Seen: Six full sets of mother-of-pearl inlays — alternating diamonds and circles — are connected by precisely fitted ebony lines. Each piece is hand-set. The depth and contrast this creates is something photographs struggle to do justice.
• A Wrap That Works as Hard as You Do: The black and white Irish linen wrap isn’t just a style choice — it provides consistent, non-slip grip through long practice sessions and high-pressure matches alike.
• Built by People Who Care: Every JOS02 leaves a family-run shop with over 33 years of expertise behind it. That’s not a marketing line. It shows up in every joint, every inlay, and every stroke.

Premium Materials for Performance and Collectibility

The JOS02 isn’t built from a checklist. Every material was chosen because it contributes something specific — to how the cue plays, how it feels, and how it holds up over time.

Birdseye Maple Sleeve

Birdseye maple is one of the most coveted woods in cue making, prized for both its performance properties and its unmistakable figure. It delivers natural stiffness, reliable energy transfer, and low deflection — exactly what you need for consistent, accurate shotmaking. The visual complexity of the grain is a byproduct of the wood itself, not a finish applied over it, which means it only gets more interesting with age.

Mother-of-Pearl Diamond & Circle Inlays with Ebony Lines

This is where the JOS02 truly separates itself. Six complete inlay sets — each featuring a mother-of-pearl diamond paired with a mother-of-pearl circle — are connected by ebony lines that flow across the sleeve in a pattern that’s both precise and organic. Every inlay is hand-set, not laser-cut and machine-dropped. You can feel the difference. You can definitely see it.

Black and White Irish Linen Wrap

Irish linen has earned its place as the wrap material of choice among serious players because it simply works. It absorbs moisture without becoming slick, provides a tactile reference point your bridge hand learns to trust, and wears gracefully over time. The black and white pattern on the JOS02 adds a sharp visual contrast that complements the natural maple without competing with it.

Hard Rock Maple Shaft

Hard rock maple is the benchmark for billiard shaft construction — consistent in density, smooth in feel, and reliable in flex profile. The JOS02’s shaft delivers clean feedback on every stroke, low deflection for accurate ball control, and the kind of long-term stability that keeps a cue playing true for years.

Who Should Buy the Joss JOS02?

The JOS02 was built with a clear player in mind. If any of this sounds familiar, it was probably built for you.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Joss JOS02

How is the Joss JOS02 different from the JOS01?

Both cues represent the best of what Joss does — but they offer genuinely different experiences. The JOS01 features a burgundy-stained curly maple sleeve with ebony circle inlays and mother-of-pearl diamond accents. The JOS02 takes the decorative complexity further with natural Birdseye maple, six full sets of alternating diamond and circle mother-of-pearl inlays, and ebony connecting lines throughout. Players who want maximum visual depth and inlay variety typically choose the JOS02. Players drawn to the warmth of the burgundy stain tend to prefer the JOS01. Both are exceptional — it comes down to your aesthetic.

Is the JOS02 suitable for competitive play?

Without question. The balanced 58-inch build, hard rock maple shaft, and stainless steel pin joint give the JOS02 everything a competitive player at the intermediate or advanced level needs — precision, consistency, and reliable stroke feedback. The craftsmanship that makes it beautiful is the same craftsmanship that makes it perform.

Can I customize the JOS02?

Yes. Weight, tip size, and joint configuration options are available. Get in touch and we’ll work with you to configure a JOS02 that fits your game, your grip, and your playing style.

How do I care for my JOS02?

Store it in a hard cue case between sessions, keep it away from humidity and temperature extremes, and wipe the shaft down with a clean dry cloth after every use. A Joss cue that’s properly cared for doesn’t just last — it improves with age as the wood settles and the finish develops character.
