Who made this design popular?

The big problem was they are usually used in guitar, banjo heads that are flat. A cue is round and the MOP is not that thick. Has to be installed perfect or it gets screwed up. When I got a pantograph I started buying MOP in small sheets that are thicker. I would cut out my own inlays. Mop it not that easy to work with.

What's funny, Ivory is so easy to work with compared to mop it was like stealing and you could ask for a lot more money. I actually liked exotic woods better, far more interesting and so many different things you could do. Ivory, mother of pearl got kind of boring.

Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

who made the cue in the middle?
all great looking
Bob Owen…….it was a design I came up before Bob stopped using ivory. The date on the cue was its anticipated completion date. It arrived Memorial Day weekend 2016. July 1, 2016 California enacted a ban on the sale/use of ivory. I could still have cues made but ivory is just so unique if I can’t use it in my cues, there’s not much reason to get any more cues.
