Man I love the look of snakewood, this cue is going to be gorgeous. Well done, please post pics when it's finished.

looks great.

only concern i have is if it's not turned down to size yet, because if not and it needs a few more passes, i'm concerned that the circles towards the a-joint will start to cut into the veneers, because as of right now, its really riding the edge.

hope it works out, because it's already a looker.

good luck!

Wondered about all the free space between the butt inlays & the butt cap. What's going on there? Something interesting yet to come?

Not at all.. Bushka had this offset zig zag pattern he used, some were more offset than others. So that's the design, but otherwise that's the inspiration. Here are two design features we used.

You can also see in this picture how close the real Bushka's dots are to the points.

No problem, thanks. IMHO Bushka was the first to "tastefully" design, or decorate, a cue. At least here in the east.. he saw what Paradise was doing and actually toned it "down". He was very aware of not only playability, but in decorating, he wasn't overly gaudy.

Szamboti after him, the same. Nothing over the top, just flowing designs that have lasted the test of time.
