Edwin, I think those are beautiful works of art and that we are very privileged to have you share them with us. Feel free to post pics of any other cues you would like.

The top one was made by my friend Ned Morris in 1996. He won an award at the Los Angeles Cue Show. This is 58 inches long.
Next cue down is Merwin's break cue by ER. He just loves ivory that even his break cue has an ivory joint. Don't worry, it's a center cut, flat-faced and threaded-on ivory joint. Cue length is 58 inches.
Below it is a cue made for EPT JoeyG's friend who wanted a cue made to Efren's specs. This cue is 60 inches long.
Bottom cue is EPT Tim Carter's Wild1 cue. This is a 62 incher.

Merwin"s play cue. Note the break cues design similarity to this play cue.

Here's one in ebony(ibano variety) and amboyna burl points. Jack's cue

Asanuma BreakJump and Play set. Wish I had taken a close=up of the forearm to show you the quintuple inlayed points made out of natural color hardwoods (not glued on veneers).

Pic removed by request. This cue was used in Efren's only movie "Pakners" by a current Philippine Presidential candidate, Fernando Poe, Jr.

Thank you all for your very appreciative and kind comments. I'll post pictures whenever a cue is completed. Special thanks to Mike.

Here's a close-up of the mitred bridge individually hand inlayed hardwood points. The black is ebony, red is red narra, yellow is yellow narra and white is hard maple.

Here's the whole forearm.

And this piece of information may just be the shocker. All the cavities for the inlays in all the cues that you've seen were cut with these tools.

Told you that you'll be shocked, as even Sherm Adamson who recently visited my shop was.

Chucklez65 · May 5, 2003

I have to admit, it is very surprising tome that these are the tools of your trade.

Very impressive. All done by hand - no machining of the cuts for the inlays...sounds like an awful lot of work to me..heh

Thanks for sharing your work with us

Always an honour to the work of someone who has mastered their craft. Thanks for letting us see the pics, amzing stuff.
