Hi everyone,



Just finished up finalizing many details with Al for my new custom player that he is building for me. Al Bautista has been a pleasure to work with and I am very excited to see the end result. It took me a while to get my sketches together for it, but I am super excited on how it turned out. I will start with the pictures of the materials that he picked out and will post more as it progresses.

I like that left skin too but I don't know if it will be too dark after the amboyna is finished.

I have an update on my build. The forearm is almost complete. The next step is going to be the ring work. I will post more pics as they are available.

why do you have so much leather?? is it going to be a sectional handle?? or do you choose which one you want to use?? a sectional handle with that skin would look ridiculously good. this cue is going to look nice, can't wasit to see the fi nished product.

Those were just the four samples he had. We are going to use only one of them. Thank you for the compliments as well.

Quite a bit actually. Had not seen that before now. There are also going to be silver inlays in the black ovals near the bottom.

That is a great looking cue. Al made my first custom. He does great work. Love it!

I have some updated photos. It is starting to come together. The ring work was just finished and added. There is still some silver work to be done, but it won't be until the end. Enjoy!
