I have not seen a cue by Mel Turner before. But, it looks great, and nice job on the veneers. How close do the points line up?

Points line up perfect. Mel gets his full splice blanks from a good source. He has a small shop in Moses Lake, WA. and only builds a few cues a year. He puts a lot of care into his work.

Sure looks like he takes pride in his work. Nice rings too.

Yes! I am extremely happy with the ring work. We spent about an hour "putting together" a plan for the cue and the result is way better than I even imagined. The green and silver look great together. Here is a picture of the cue during the rough planning stage...
