awesome cues...shouldn't last long...how I wish I could snatch either one from you...
 
Sorry to hear that you have to part with these beauties! That Ironwood/ivory cue is insane! Best Bender ive ever seen. Good luck with the sale.
 
What an amazing example of Desert ironwood burl....soooo pretty! Mke's point work is PERFECT and the best in the business IMO. Great example of his abilities! I like the cue, if you couldn't tell...

If I had the cash this would be mine already. GL buddy :smile:

I agree 100%, i don't think anyone, and i mean anyone makes points like Mike.

And this cue has re-cuts! That is super hard to make them this freaking good!

If is wasn't for me going through a divorce i'd never, NEVER, NEVER EVER sell this cue. I'm sick to my stomach over this cue.

Again, more pm's answered, both still available.
 
No!

That Desert ironwood is the best looking and hitting cue EVER!!!
I love that cue and it somehow plays 10 times better than it looks.

Sucks you're having to sell it, Suck almost as bad that I can't buy it
