Plus one for padauk. I have an EDC with the same wood. It's far more pretty than I expected it to be.

Ask what you paid for the shaft on FB's Open Billiards Market, and it will sell. The size might slow it down a bit as 12.4mm seems to be more popular.

So who was the first to inlay diamonds and dots in pool cues? Do we know? From a design standpoint, I'm having a hard time thinking of anything (including beyond pool cues) that has stood the test of time the diamonds and dots have. Thoughts?

What rooms have you visited that you can borrow ideas from? It would be well worth your time to make some road trips.

What is a nice, home-used GC IV worth these days? Thanks!

Fabulous cue!
