My 1st. conversation with Joel Hercek was July 31,1999.I had brought up MOP inlays and Joel was not receptive to the idea.From that point to now I have had the privilege of owning over a dozen of Joels full spliced cues and have loved them all.This morning I received a package from Fed Ex that blew me away.This cue in my opinion is so gorgeous I asked Joel if he had oictures of it to please post them.The Pics should follow this post.I hope you enjoy them. Give attention to his name in the butt.

Hi Frank,
Looking forward to seeing those pictures:wink:. You may have gotten the cue early, but our arrangement plans for dinner in Valley Forge is still on...then I hopefully we can compare.
All the best,
Tom

Pictures aren't up
would love to see this cue I remember talking to you years ago and you had never used MOP in a cue.
I think someone should go ahead and add that cue to the "AZB Cue Of The Year" thread. In my opinion, that is the epitome of classic elegance. I can truly say I love everything about that cue. It is probably the nicest looking Hercek I have ever seen. I like this cue even better than "The Border Brothers" that Dennis made. Amazing job, and congratulations on a super bad-ass cue.:shocked::bow-down:
