Drawing out a cue design

Anyone else tried doing this?

I've been thinking about what I wanted my next cue to look like. As the design in my head progressed I started to wonder if it was getting to be too much because I don't like cluttered designs. While I was at work I decided to get out a pen and paper and sketch the design out so I could get a better look at it. I must say it was a good idea that I would recommend to others. I'm going to go do a final draft on paper so I can color in the veneers, inlays and the rest.
 
That is how I designed mine, drew it actual size on a 30" piece of paper , then I picked my woods and inlay material, decided the weight, balance, joint type and pin, colored it and took it to GR cues and Bill did a really nice job for me.

there are also many cgi programs (many free) that you can digitally construct a cue(or anything else), the designs are only limited to your imagination.

I designed my cue, but I used a CAD program so making changes was easy. And looking at different colors is easy too.
 
I would use a rendering program, but I think I would actually rather draw this one.....I'm feeling artsandcrafty lately.

So far the design is set with one thing left which is whether or not I want a Hoppe ring. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with it, but it will still have a bumper because I know if I don't have that I will need to have a repair change jar.
 
What I did for the Jacoby that I had made was collect pictures of cues online. I then cut and pasted work of each cue that I liked onto one cue.

Color, rings, joint, butt, wrap area, type of wood. It looked exactly how I wanted and Jacoby liked it also. All they need was the specs for weight, taper, size etc.
