Actually I haven't yet ask Bob about it, he told me this cue would be delivered end of this year or early next year so I left him to it. I'll drop him a line soon and see if there's anymore cool pictures for me

True that, it was that bridged point that drew me to ordering a cue from Bob. His work looks so tight!
I can't agree more that Bob's work is too underrated. However it seems more and more AZers are ordering from him, good for Bob but not good for my next order heh
Bob loves photography as well and he takes pride in ensuring his subjects are good enough for the lens and he is such a cool guy to work with.
All your comments are getting me excited about it cue again!! Haha
Don't wait to long, I hear his wait list is getting longer and longer.
No doubt it'll be gorgeous
Thanks.
True that!
Update from Bob :grin:
Here are pictures of the stacked veneers that will be used in the butt sleeve to form 4 windows.
In Bob's words "Just something to whet your appetite!" :grin-square:
By the looks of these pics, I`m guessing, I`m gonna have to buy Bob another JD on the rocks again this year at states. You owe me another beer or 3 Jive. LOL The cue is coming along nicely buddy. Can`t wait to get another sneak peek at it again this year. Ha Ha
Be well my friend
Jeff
Haha yes Jeff I'm gonna old you a barrel in no time
I'm equally excited and have been bugging Bob with some ideas after having obscene amounts of coffee in the morning..
When it's done then comes to Papa Ralf:wink:
Haha you keep thinking that buddy!! :grin:
I agree with everything you said Jamie except the deal about Bob being under rated?
Bob is a Professional Master Machinist and all of the CMs or peers I know see him as one who is at the top of this game.
The art of cue making is all about controlling tight tolerances. Bob has that going in spades!
JMO,
Rick

Thanks Jake, the original plan was black EE wrap to let the rest of the cue including the wood pop. Now I'm wondering if brownish EE or Spanish Bull would look better. What do u think?
Thanks, I enjoy all of Bob's pictures and videos...it's clear from those that Bob's a meticulous man and I've never enjoyed working on a cue as much as this.
I think subtle is better and the black will possibly take away the flow.
So pink it is then.
Sadly you both lack imagination. Purple ostridge skin is what is needed here!
Just kidding of course. Any boring mundane wrap would look great on that cue!

When you say kidding all i hear is your inner most thoughts Larry...
I'm still looking for that Pink EE Wrap...it's so illusive..i mean i can find pink ivory but why the heck can't i find that animal...darn..
If you can't find a pink E, you are not drinking enough. I suggest you work a little harder.
