I don't have a cue to post, but I'd like to second “The Provincial” by Thomas Wayne. If I could have any cue, that's the one I want.

Kudos to all of the great artisans represented.

Joel Hercek Custom Cue 2011

All white are ivory and silvers. Not something super highend cue. But this is my style of cue that I like. Well worth it to wait for.
This is a very very special cue for me from Joel.

I don't care which one of these cues wins the coveted
title of AZB Cue of the Year for 2011. I feel like I'm
a winner just for having had the opportunity to look
at everyone's beautiful cues. Thank you Jamie, for
hosting this thread and thank you to everyone else
who contributed to it. All of these cues are great...

Jammie does come up with some idea to keep all the cue nuts busy. I consider everyone winner because they are all great cues.

Well… I'm going to take it on the chin again and run the "AZB Cue of the Year " thread for 2011. I think we all enjoyed last year's thread even though there was some debating going on. Please… let's stick to these simple rules:

1. Cue has to have been made in 2011
2. Cue should be owned, or at least one time owned by an AZB member
3. AZB Cuemakers can post 1 cue they made in 2011 for entry
4. A picture of the cue must be posted in this thread by Dec 15th, 2011
5. Let's keep this positive and fun!

After all entries are posted in this thread I will narrow it down to the top 25 and start the polling.

With all the great cases that have come out this year, I certainly believe an "AZB Case of the Year" thread is in order, so I will start a thread for that as well.

I will get this thread started with this cue…

Sugartree Buckeye Burl Cue (previously Eric's Crisp's personal cue)
