My new to me cue.

[Supralative]

Just picked up this Tony Russell cue that consists four points of pink ivory with red, yellow, then orange veneers surrounding the points on gabon.
The check rings at each location are ivory.
One shaft has an ivory ferrule and the other shaft has a ivorite ferrule.
You have probably seen it before, but I did a few changes to it.
I had the black with white spec Irish Linen changed out for some white with red spec Irish Linen for contrast on the gabon wood. The upper part of the handle bed was just abit shallow so local cue make great Jim Ingram turned the bed down just abit to let the wrap sit flush with the forearm.
I had both shafts turned down to 12mm as well.
Jim said this is a very nice cue and is made very well too!!!
Coming from him that says alot!!!!!

OK
Let me try to get some pics of those tonight.
Its just a simple point and shoot camera so nothing too spectacular in photo quality...LOL.

You can see pics of this cue in my profile page under the albums . To the OP I would like feedback on how the cue feels, plays etc, being everyone likes something different.

Took this pic from Tony's post.

I will hopefully get to play with the cue this weekend with the changes just made this week and let you know how it goes Tony.

Its a good hitting cue Tony.
I like the looks of it ALOT now.
Finish is extremely smooth on the forearm.
Only small flaws now are in the butt where it seems the finish is lifting abit at the rings but its minimal.
If that was as smooth as the forearm this thing would be flawless.
Really glad to have this cue in my collection and it will probably a TRUE keeper.

Well the finish is 3yrs old now? The butt sleeve is usually where a cue has finish issues due to an occasional bump. Im very glad you like it!!
