I imagine you practiacally broke your ankle running to turn off the computer, but that when you got there, you said to yourself, 'Damn, now I want a cue with a lion too!'
..and they just keep getting cheaper: http://billiardcue.com/cues.php?view=1&search_letter=k

Eh, she's all about lions...no tigers, unfortunately.
Wish Players did make a lion cue...I'd be all over it...
Right now, my only realistic option is to buy the Eliminator Detroit Lions cue (which luckily doesnt say "Detroit" on it) and fix a 5/16x18 wood shaft to it...
Anyone got one of those Detroit Lions cues for cheap? I hear they play greaaaaaaat...lol

Weird request...but my girlfriend wants to start getting into pool...
She wants me to buy her a cue -- but she insists on it having a LION on it!
If anyone has anything, or anything comes to mind (or anyone wants to maybe make me one?), please let me know...
Thanks,

Shouldn't be a problem to find a lion cue dealer. It's the truthful ones that are difficult to locate.

There is one suggestion I have for you. Seriously, you could buy a cue for her and make your own decal on a color inkjet printer using the image of your choice. you'll need a cue with a white buttcap.
Here's a place that sells the paper - some office supply stores do too.

What you do is print the lion picture you select on the paper, spray over it with polyurethane, let it dry then cut the decal out with an exacto knife. You then soak it in water and slide the decal onto the cue butt. It's better to let the cuemaker prep the butt first (with epoxy) and send them a few decals in case the ink bleeds.
Then they clear coat over it and finish it up. You can put her name on it the same way.

another option you have is to buy any cue with a plain forearm, any color you want, and get a local artist to airbrush a lion on it for you. its been done on cues before. just like its done on cars.
it shouldnt be to hard to find an artist to do this with a little research.
try a tattoo shop artist.
good luck
Matching case
By chance are you going to need a matching case with the name "DeLis"?
