Cues like this make me a very impatient person. Very sharp cue, I think the points look great actually. Great work!!!!
 
Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words guys!

However, I must be a little dense tlayne. Why does a cue like this make you an "impatient" person:confused:
 
I think the points look good on this cue, and the veneer colors make it pop as well, nice job <<ED
 
Thanks Bill for the props. I am glad you put it to good use my friend.

I'm sure it will be a great player

Sorry Sir. It's makes me impatient for I am not on your skill in cuemaking. For it's impossible as some would like it to happen over night. And in the way of saving money for a cue like that. Wish that kinda happened overnight too. You have a beautiful cue there, very nice work. I am not very good at thought to keyboard, sorry for the vague reply.

Kelly has really nice woods... Hopefully someday I can get a cue from him.

I see nothing wrong with what you've done on the forearm. Looks good to me.

I have not forgotten about you my friend. I am taking down my shop and moving to another state in a few weeks. It will take a little while to get it set back up in my new home, but things will happen in 2010.
