Here we go again folks with the "AZB Cue of the Year " 2012 edition. I think we all enjoyed last year's thread even though there was some debating going on. Here are the rules:

1. Cue has to have been made in 2012
2. Cue should be owned, or at least one time owned by an AZB member
3. AZB Cuemakers can submit 1 cue they made in 2012 for entry
4. POST PICTURES OF YOUR ENTRY IN THIS THREAD BY JAN 1st

I will choose the top 20-25 cues for the poll, and post the poll soon after Jan 1st.

Happy holidays to all, and I'm looking forward to posting up the incredible cues.

Jerry rauenzahn one piece

Here's an entry for Jerry Rauenzahn. Full splice eight pointer on the lower butt, and two sets of full splices with butterflies above, and ivory ferrule done in USA red, white, and blue veneer theme. Again this cue is a one piece.

Thank you for doing the cue of the year again.

Titled - "The Loose Cannon" (after the owner.)

This is an insanely intricate piece. Using traditional machining techniques, No CNC & no Panto-graph. I love this cue. Wish it was mine!

Little Kenny gave me permission to enter his amazing Manzino. The bllodwood is so incredible and it doesn't even show that good in the pics.

It's been a pretty long time since a cue just made me stop breathing and stare in awe...that is something special.

i have 2 cues coming that i will have before the first.

I will do my very best to have the pics posted i time.

Both cues will be finished, one is a Barry the other is a Boar(I havent seen either of them) i'm sure they will be competitive.

please if possible give me a little wiggle room for posting the pics(like 48 hours) i'm on a plane on the 31st.

thanks again

Eric:)
