Many of you have asked about me about my experience with PFD.
I'll just post here for all to read, if you still have more questions you can still pm me.
Paul is great to work with. I started of sending him my designs. Most of the ideas i had were from other cues i've seen from other cue makers. We were both on the same page as wanting something similar but different. So I'd ask about his or that and he would tell me what his thoughts were on it. In the end EVERY idea we came up with was a home run. I wanted ivory and silver ring work, he came up with the design you see in the cue. I was thinking about 8 long point, he suggested 5 for the simple fact that 8 would make the inner ivory point so narrow that it wouldn't be worth it. We want to really SEE the ivory, not be so thin that we say it's white so it must be ivory. I was unsure what type of ivory joint i wanted, his is the best hands down.
I wish you could all see the ivory in this cue. It's the most stunning ivory i've ever seen. The grain is unbelievable.
The ebony is hands down the best i've seen.
Paul would also call and/or email me every week or so with updates. Paul made sure that every little detail was not overlooked.
You can't go wrong with PFD studios.
Also, when i was on vacation last year in New York city he invited my wife and i to his house. He was great. We walked us through his shop and showed us many of his cues. Let me tell you that Paul has the best woods i've ever seen. You name it he has it.
Anyway, i hope you get the picture.

Glad you finally got around to posting the photos. We were beginning to worry that you were never leaving the pool hall. hehe!! Man, you weren't kidding, that is one monster of a cue right there. I'd be afraid to take it out in public. Interesting that you went with the inlaid grip area as opposed to a wrap. Very neat looking design. Don't let it get stolen.

as for taking photos, Tikkler recommends taking the photos in natural light, like outside. I'm seeing pink in the ivory over here too, but I know it's just the pics
