This cue came from an idea while watching one of my in-laws make knives from a type of Damascus from Sweden and mosaic pins. I found the USA distributor and ordered a couple pieces round stock. I promptly traped over to Jack and Bev's house to pitch my idea. Three and half years later resulted in this creation.
It is a six point pink ivory & ebony with mastodon ivory. The mosaic pins are inlayed as buttons in the butt and the bolt, collar, and JP(s) have Damascus.
I picked up the cue today and during the initial inspection I came up with the brilliant idea of him doing a matching break cue. That Jack must be a mind reader because before I could open my mouth he made it very clear that he would never work with that steel again. I'm paraphrasing, but I remember phrases like, "hell freezes over" and "go jump in the lake" if that steel entered his shop again.
I'd like to publicly thank Jack and Bev for working with me on my first custom cue. I appreciate the work that went into the design. It truly is a cue that fits my personality.
Here are some preliminary pictures. I'll post higher quality pictures once I have enough time to get the camera equipment out.
