Well here is the new ebony on ebony Skip Weston. This is a cue him and I have been working on for a while. Not because it is complicated but Skip is back at a machinist position and has told me that cues will be on a very limited basis. He is projecting 25 or so a year. He is going to do some very elaborate work, and make some slight changes to his construction.
This cue is ebony on ebony. Points are maple, purpleheart, permambucco, maple, essentially white, purple, orange, white. They are vibrant, and really show up. Each ring is a rosary bead style with an ivory center ring, 4 large ivory dots, then there are 8 MOP dots. 4 in the center of the ivory, 4 stand alone smaller dots. Simple, yet classy rings. The points have an ivory spear with MOP dots above and below. The back end has high and low rosary rings, with an ivory propeller above a MOP flourette. MOP dots above and in between each inlay arrangement. For me the fun was the propeller arrangement. How I arrived at that, just luck of the draw, pun intended.
19.3 oz, 4 oz shafts, ivory joint and 'roo wrap...
His inlay and point work are exceptional and I cannot wait till he does some really fancy cues. I have seen some ivory veneered cues and they will be very special.
