Thanks Jim, your cues are looking good also. Yes, the PH is very purple, that is some of the inexpensive squares I was selling. Not bad for a few dollars. Busboy - Thanks. look forward to making you one also!!!!

Finally finished these. Jp's to match the cue for Don and the matching jump cue to go with it all. Cue was curly PH with Amboyna Burl points w/ red/white/blue veneers. Rings are Amboyna with ivory stitches, collars are all ivory. Western Maple jump handle w/ PH shaft, extra hard ferrule material...

Order has been filled, many thanks.

Then $50.00 is probably too much.

The Hercules tips I have are stamped in gold and look like #3.

lol, and you leave me a negative rep just so you can call me names again. Too funny. I refrained from giving you one when you posted the up your ass comment... and will refrain again. Best of luck.
