Greg does excellent work. I can't tell from your pictures what the forearm wood is.


Nice cue,
Chris

Real nice job on that blank by Greg Kucharski and it happened without any delay! I like the dimensions of the Hoppe ring and buttsleeve. Thanks for posting the result. Ariel Carmeli is just about to complete another John Davis Hoppe cue. I'll post photoswhen it is completed. Like yours, the shafts are lagging a few weeks behind.

Niceeee.... I was thinking in exactly same direction. To put cue together from same components as you did.
Please let us know how those McDaniel shafts with micarta ferrules play...
