Look at what I get to come home to

I posted these pics in the cue gallery, but I figured I'd put this on the main forum too. At the beginning of my deployment I decided that I was going to treat myself to a brand new pool cue. Originally I looked at production cues, but then I decided to get something special made. I decided to go with Doug Patrick after talking to him and seeing some of his past work and reading reviews. He made it really easy. I told him what I was looking for and gave him the specs, and the pictures far exceed what I had envisioned in my head. The only problem is that I can only look at the pictures for the next couple of weeks. You can all be sure though that as soon as I walk through the door it's going to get screwed together. :wink:
The anticiapation is killing me, but I can count my time in Baghdad on my two hands. I'll be sure to post some pictures of it on my home table, and give a full review when I get home. Thanks Doug, I'm sure it's going to play as good as it looks. I posted a pic of the ICM so you can all see why I chose that color combo.

Good for you buddy. Looks like a solid hitter. I will do the same thing for myself upon my return from Afcrappistan.

That's a beautiful cue. The only thing I'd have done different on it was a textured black leather wrap (I'm kinda partial to leather).

legend, a big "THANK YOU" to you and runout and ALL the others for your service and your sacrifices to help those such as myself enjoy our freedoms (aka the "good life"). Get home soon and enjoy that new cue!!!

Yeah it was kind of a toss up. My current player has a leather wrap, and I really like it, but my dad has a similar cue with irish linen and I've found I like it a little better, so I decided to go with that on my new one.

That's a good one. I'm getting out of the army though, and I definitely would not take such a nice cue to Iraq with me, that's what the old McD is for.

Short!!

:clapping:Thank you for your service.

It's good to be short-careful getting out of bed-that's a long drop to the floor.

Nice cue-enjoy.

Be safe.

Thank you for your service. ALL those who serve honorably deserve
more than a cue. They deserve, and have earned, our respect.

Legend - she certainly is a beauty - Doug does some really beautiful detailed work and your choices were spot on!! - you take care now for those final few weeks and a safe home - and that goes for all your brothers and sisters who are currently serving - may they complete their tour safely and return home to their loved ones and something as great looking as that cue!!:wink: -

Thank you very much, but I must respectfully decline your offer. It's a very nice gesture, but saying thank you is enough, and your tax dollars already contributed to my salary. Thank you though.
