Hi All,
I am excited about a new Pete Tonkin cue currently being built for me, and want to share some renderings of the cue that Pete developed for me
while we were in the process of designing the cue in advance of the build. The unique new software rendering program that Pete has developed
has made it easy for the two of us to have a clear understanding of expectations, and in a word, it is amazing.
Some quick thoughts:
* The cue is ivory-free, and can easily be a "world traveler".
* I worked with Pete by phone and we jointly developed a cue design, including selection of woods, veneers, inlays and specifications..
* Pete then used his unique new software rendering capabilities and brought to life (in a rendering) exactly what was in my mind`s eye.
To be perfectly clear, because of Pete`s overall cue design excellence I certainly provide and encourage his ongoing flexibility for modifications
as he sees fit during the construction process, but the renderings allow us to start "on the same page".
* I am very excited to have Pete building this cue for me, as it has been on my mind for quite some time.
This cue is certainly a Tonkin-design cue, but with my thoughts and ideas incorporated to my satisfaction.
And with a shared vision.
* I already have several stellar Tonkin cues in my home as part of the very best cues in my collection.
This one will fit nicely with the others and will be a welcome addition.
* I give a very, very, very high thumbs up on the overall cue acquisition experience, particularly aided by the rendering process.
* I don`t post cues often in the gallery, but wanted to let others be aware of Pete`s cue design phase with his new, unique and thoroughly rewarding rendering capability.
* I look forward to posting pictures of the cue after it is built. :thumbup:
(Edit: Sorry the pictures are so large, I thought they would be smaller. I will try to re-do them. In their current size you do, however, get a very clear idea of the cue to be built)
