Ebony Hoppe Fanatic
Hi Folks,
Ned Morris has started a custom Hoppe style cue for me and here is the first pic of the forearm.Mine will be the second one down. The lighter of the two curly maple forearm woods.This is lake salvage curly maple wood that is maybe 75-100 years old.
I decided to use the wood without a dark stain, because the white,purple,blue and black veneers will show up better against the lighter wood.It will be a 4 point with 4 veneers,with black paper in between the veneers.The points and the butt sleeve will be ebony.There will be 28 Ivory inlays, 12 in the points (dot diamond dot)and 16 in the butt sleeve (dots and diamonds),along with the joint and Hoppe ring being ivory.Big pin too.Stay tuned for more progress pics of the build.Thanks for looking.
Best regards,Marc
