More than likely the crack was already there as someone said. The water simply caused the crack to expand as well. Post some pictures of the crack. Just because a shaft has a crack doesn't necessarily mean it's done, and can't be fixed.

Thanks guys, appreciate the compliments.

Nice cue Kelly. Looks really good, nice clean layout.

Great job Jim, beautiful cue. You know I am a fan of the spalted woods as well. Handle looks really nice with it as well. Keep up the good work. Shawn

Thank you, I appreciate that. I think the color of the wrap set it off as well. Just fits the cue well, and does not distract away from it. Shawn

I thought hard about it believe me. We thought about doing an ebony handle at first but ended up wrapping it. Appreciate the compliments, I think it turned out beautiful as well. Hopefully the customer is going to think so as well. Working on the shafts for it now and it will be done. Shawn

Updated pics posted up top. Thanks, Shawn
