Cue for Ralf Ganz in Germany.
Thank you my friend for your infinite patience. Here is your cue long overdue.
A one piece of paella burl from Guatemala from r the handle and butt sleeve on African gaboon ebony forearm.
Cue and shafts (Precision soft tips) with matching joint protectors.
Pictures make no justice of the figure of the paella burl.
Almost caught up!

Is it the pics or is the finish burnt through over the whole cue?

Super fair question... I am using a new waterborne finish and the polish dulled out, as weird as it might seem, I was puzzled myself.
The problem with the high gloss turning dull it is a combination of sandpaper type and polish compound. When I polished the cue, the cue looked super good.
I am working with the manufacturer to get the issue addressed. I am also dealing with some shrinkage issue with the new finish.
I have finished 2 other cues with the same finish and different sealer, sandpaper and polish compound and the issue no longer exists, they have been sitting for a month and no shrinkage has occurred.
Ralf's cue happens to be to the first cue I used my new finish. I have have offered Ralf shipping both ways to get the cue and shafts fixed.
I stand behind my work and if there is anything wrong I will get it fixed and done.

I'm not up on finishes but if waterborne is safer I say more power to you.
