Here are some pics of a cue I am making for an AZer. The undercoat has been
applied. The butt cap and joint sleeve are elk horn and the butt sleeve is
quilted sapele. The forearm is Italian olive and the handle is made from various
woods. The core is purple heart.

That sure is a beauty! I'm curious why you didn't list the "various woods" in the handle, though. The bright flash of the camera makes it a little hard to see them all.

Hi and thanks for the compliment. The cue is at the shop. When I go there
tomorrow I will spin the cue and take a pic of the other side and list the woods.

Hello again: The woods in the handle are bocote, Russian birch, granadillo, cherry, shedua and black walnut. I use a combination of 92 different woods
in these handles. The handle in cue no 10-08 has 6 different woods. Some have as many as 10 different woods. See some examples of twisted butterfly handles in the pics.

The butt cap looks pretty damn cool!
