Congratulations to Thomas Wayne. IMO, Purple Reign is one of his finest to date. I’ve seen this cue in person and it truly is stunning. It was hard to set that cue down since there is so much to admire. I found the veneer points inside the ivory to almost give the illusion of never really ending, they are that sharp. His work continues to push the envelope and that is refreshing. I’m anxious to see what he'll give us next.
Thanks for another great year Jamie. The entries were all fine examples of both traditional and modern design. All should be proud.
As a last note, I’m happy to see Ned Morris’ cue make the list. This is another cue I’ve seen up close and can attest to the beauty and workmanship. It’s good to see him back. A great guy and cue maker as well.
