Nice, absolutely amazing, I am lost for words when confronted by such beauties, not mentioning the heritage behind. If both of these cues are able to talk, I bet they will share with you one hell of a interesting journey.

how cool would that be. Imagine if every cue could talk, and they would tell you their whole life story.......oh well...back to earth now. Could be a good book.

Wasnt there a movie called the tatto man or something...where every tatoo was a story?
 
Tikkler,

You have some of the fanciest most ornate cues ever conceived. And some times you just amaze me. The last BB was sure impressive... But cues like these are what really make my day!! I appreciate your sharing those with us.

Thank you.

Hey Steve, was just wondering, with the vast amount of high end cues you are currently having in your arsenal. Imagine you do a group shot of just 3 cues, I was wondering how many combinations can you really get from your collection? Any mathematics expert out there that can do the maths.

I don't know how many cues Steve has. Suppose it is 100. The number of groups of 3 that can be chosen from 100, with the order mattering, is 100 x 99 x 98 = 970,200. These are called permutations. So if Steve were to take pictures of 3 cues, with cue A on the left, cue B in the center, and cue C on the right, for example, Steve would have almost a million different pictures!

However, if picture A-B-C was considered the same as B-A-C, i.e. we don't care about the order of the cues in the picture -- we just want to know how many groups of 3 can be chosen -- then we have to divide the answer above (the number of permutations) by 6, because cues A, B, and C can be ordered in the picture in 6 different ways (A-B-C, A-C-B, B-A-C, B-C-A, C-A-B, C-B-A). The answer is 161,700. These are called combinations. That would still keep Steve busy for a long time!

I absolutely love reading stuff like this.....but now it makes me think of how I failed math in school.....LOL
 
i like the one with the orange veneers, i would love to play a few racks with that cue.
 
Thanks for the pics, I missed your pics, glad your back to posting pics of your cues.

I really like when you put 2,3,4 cues in a pic, to see them together is fun.


thanks again,

eric:smile:
 
tikkler,

I have the adoption papers wrote up, all I need is for you to sign them.:grin-square: Just make sure to change it to my name when its time to give out the cues.



Just kidding of course. Man I'd love to see your whole collection at once.
 
Steve, I don't know if there's a person on the planet that has such a comprehensive cue collection as you do. Props, man. You've got some beautiful cues!
 
hey

Joe, thanks for the nice comment. Its particularly more fun holding and looking at these cues. especially when you can compare super nice traditional cues right next to super worked out modern ones.
