This is a cue that has been in the works for 3 years now.
The forearm/buttsleeve is the most unique piece of Brazilian rosewood I've ever seen, I bought it from a guitar maker 8-9 years ago. The handle is Spalted indian Tamarind. The ringwork was by for the most aggravating pain in the ass we've ever encountered as cuemakers, rosewood and tamarind rings just kept breaking, or chipping out, can't remember how many set's of ringwork we went through to get it right. The Joint is a solid westinghouse Micarta joint. The shafts are Top shelf old growth with 25+ rings each. Cue will get Westinghouse Micarta ferrules.
I am hopping to have a case made for this cue with "Brazilian Rhapsody" embossed on it. As you can see this cue includes joint protectors that have Westinghouse Micarta tops.
There are only 5-7 people who have seen this cue during it's building stages. 3 are my main buyers of our cue's. I wanted to show pics of this cue now before one of them buys it and it is never seen again. This cue has the best of everything in and on it. And I just wanted it to be seen before I sell it. I did start building it for myself but I know I can't keep it. This cue is very special to me, so I've included plenty of pics.
Hope you enjoy,
P.S. Yes were are still making cue's, we are busy and I just don't have time to post here often.
