The greatest conversion cue even built...BILL SCHICK 360<----------------------------

I gave this blank to Bill after meeting him in his shop years ago. For those that don't know, the Brunswick 360 was the fanciest cue they built before 1923. I had one of the most memorable times of my life. Bill is a class act, friend, oh, and a pretty good cuemaker. The wait was well worth it. He only makes a handful of cues a year now, and for him to build this for me makes it even more special. Here she is.......

All white is Ivory.
Brazilian rosewood nose.
Mahogany butterflies.
Purpleheart points and buttsleeve.
Full spliced with 5 veneers.
Smooth, soft, flawless black leather.
This is the first cue with this NEW style "ivory tip" on the pin.
He will be making the rest of his cues like this from now on.
This is the second cue he ever signed in this fashion. (first in Bluebook).

Enjoy.

Amazing...simply amazing....

All three of them would be the pride in any collection, but that 360 is beyond anything I can even think to say right now....I'm actually speechless over how incredible that cue turned out......I don't know who deserves more of an atta boy right now....you ...or Bill!
That picture should be the center fold of a cue collectors magazine!!!!

Absolutely stunning!! - it takes your breath away - when I saw it I was immediately reminded of the Chrysler Bldg. in NYC which I believe is one of the most beautiful examples of Art Deco Period architecture in the world - many years of enjoyment - Jackson:thumbup2:
