Joel sent me some pictures, all done but the wrap and the hard part $$$.
This wont appeal to all as it isnt traditional but it is personal and Joel hit it SPOT ON!!!!
Troy, its not as fancy as many of Joels cues, but yes Joel did put some work into it. Its Brazilian rosewood into maple, if it plays as I expect it will this is the cue I have always wanted. Its Joels "LEO" cue. I gave Joel a basic idea of what I was seeking and he urpassed my hopes. As I said it will not appeal to some as it isn't traditioal but to me its perfection.
