Kevin;
very enjoyable thread. :thumbup:
I rec'd this one from Jeff Olney last month and did post it in the "Olney Cues" thread but figured it would be good here as well.
I had Jeff use blue abalone diamonds to pick up on the blue and purple veneer. Slightly different from his usual work and I've always loved tulipwood.
Jeff's work is superlative and she plays judt how I like, very stiff with the sharp <<ping>>.
best,

Best playing cue I have ever had.

Just got a call from Dan Janes that my cue is finished and will ship tomorrow.
He (and Debbie) thinks it is really special.
Coolest thing about it is that I have no idea what it will look like. Only thing I know is that it has a cocobolo nose, is a 5 point cue, and will use a variation of standard Titlist colors
. It all started when Dan said that he had gotten in a shipment of cocobolo that was some of the nicest he had seen in many years, and I asked if he would make me a cue from one of the pieces. He hand selected a piece, I gave him a budget range and I left the rest to him.
On my call with him, I could tell he was excited about the cue. Must be awesome to be able to do something you truly enjoy for 40+ years like he has.
Should get it Thursday will try and post pictures by the weekend.
You will love it. I did the same thing with Dan. Told him the wood, # of points, colors in the points and that I wanted cut diamonds and dots. I let him be creative out of respect for the years of workmanship he has put in. The points are razor sharp and I left the order of the the colors in the points up to him and I also left the placement of the cut diamonds and dots up to him. Came out very old school and the more I look at it the better I like it. People always ask me if they can see my cue. I am sure you will not be dissappointed.
Just got my new Dan Janes (Joss) custom today. He had received in some really nice cocobolo and agreed to make me a cue. I did not provide any directions so it is completely his design.
5 points, variation of Titlist colors, reverse points in butt, white with double black Cortland wrap.
It is signed by Dan, and has my name on it as well.
Very happy with it. Quite unique and beautiful, Have not played with it yet,
