Simple cue designs you love. Woods and simple ring work.

That came out beautiful! The black and nickel rings really pop with the finish on it. It looks fantastic.

I opted for no black and no metal rings. Here is the photoshop I did for the design, but I don't believe he has started on it yet, but that has been mostly because I didn't send him a finished design until yesterday.

Mine is Cocobolo, and Curly with no rings except for the wood itself. I am ashamed at how many iterations I did of the simple design, black joints, silver joints, ivory joints, no butt cap, with butt cap, various ring patterns etc. I had a lot of fun actually. I think your cue really helped me settle on the ivory butt and joints, as I kept coming back to those designs as my favorite.

If you ever want another cue mocked up I have a PS file with all the options ready to go. :lol:

That's a really unique design. Will be very interesting to see it turned into an actual cue. Please post progress pics.

Very pretty. Well executed Merry Widows are gorgeous in my view.I love Cory's rings.

I don't know how much you want to spend but you may be better off going to a show like the SBE. You will be able to see cues in person and try them out.

If possible try a Sugartree. He uses wood to the max but his cues usually are at a premium because of that.

To have a cue made based on what you think may look nice may not play or feel the way you would like or want.

I like simple full splices right now, hustler no joint collar

Ebony nose curly purple heart
Curly maple and goncola aves

Excellent wood combos

My cue has been on the lathe, and taking some shape.

I am having a simple custom made, and looking for some ideas. I am not going to go with splices or inlays, but just simple wood grains and ring work. Post up some pics of simple designs you like.

Right now I know I want some curly maple, and then maybe figured Cocobolo and/or Bubinga.

Look up Black Pearl cues, Al Bautista from Philippines. https://www.facebook.com/pg/Black-Pearl-Cues-153243054747422/photos/?ref=page_internal

Looking nice. Very interesting design you came up with but looks like it will work well. Looks like a really nice piece of coco too. Excited to see more updates.

DCS_SF · Jan 23, 2017

Just about finished. I am excited to see it in person, and even more so to get on the table.

JC · Jan 23, 2017

Here are a couple of cues I'm finishing up along the lines of simple wood and rings

Curly claro walnut with a dark cocobolo handle

Other cue cocobolo with padauk handle and bloodwood butt sleeve and joint.

Sorry about the glare on the photos

Oh, what happened? Waiting for something he didn't have on hand?

Won't go into detail but ultimately I do not have a cue from him.

DCS_SF · Jan 27, 2017

My cue came in yesterday. It looks great, and has a really solid hit. I need some more table time with it, but I am happy with the results.

j_zippel · Jan 27, 2017

Here's my twig. Simple yet easily the best hitting cue I've owned.
