NEW Mind Mangling "MANZINO"

[tikkler]

I am in big trouble, I cant keep my hands off this new cue. I know I have to go to work tomorrow, but I might have to take this baby with me. Bob Manzino is an incredible cue craftsman and artist...and a great guy to be around as well. This cue should be hanging in a museum....not in my house with me staring at it.

Tell me what you think of this beauty..................

That a great cue, Steve!!

 

[sneak_peter]

an amazing piece of art! i've never seen anything like this before - wow!

 

[ELBeau]

Another great piece. At first I wasn't sure if i cared for the dots and flowers in the segmented handle (seeing it in macro), however, it is amazing how it comes together in the overview photo. That's impressive to say the least!
Thanks for sharing.

I thought the exact same thing for a split second when I first saw it. Then I actually realized that it completes the entire cue and pulls the whole design together. I was telling Mike Morgan how the inlays in the handle are just perfect, any bigger would of looked weird and any smaller wouldnt have done it either. Thanks for the comment

Dog, it was great seeing you again. I wish you would come down and visit sometime so you could check out and handle the entire collection...

Anytime my friend

That cue is stunning in person. Steve had some of his collection at the meet and greet yesterday. Not a dog in the bunch. Hope to see you next year with your cues.:thumbup:

Tank, was great seeing you as well. We definately had some fun. I did start counting the inlays and got to over 400 in the handle alone and then gave up. It is an incredible amount of work by Bob, but the finished product is unreal. I think that this cue might be the nicest I have ever seen as far as just the way the design of it flows from front to back. Like a complete work of art...with that handle tying it all together

[TheBook]

I think you over did the black inlays. :rotflmao1:

Very nice.

It is very difficult to come up with new adjectives to describe how beautiful your cues are. This cue is very stunning. Unfortunately I got to the Meet and Greet late and was not able to see any of your cues. I am very disappointed that I was not able to ask a few questions of you either.

Chris

Chris, just send me an email and we can talk anytime you want....

By the way Bob was nice enough to save me some time...he said there are very close to 700 inlays in the cue.

You've done it again! What a super cue to add to your phenominal cue collection. I'm still dazed by your new BB that's coming and this Manzino is awesome. Keep the pictures coming because I love to see what these great cue makers can do.......

The more I look at this cue, I just love how the inlays made with gold lip abalone compliments the silver and ivory. The combination just came out perfect.
