Hey
Bobs write up for this cue........
Steve,
First off thank you for continuing to support the industry and all of us that create for you.
The inspiration for this design is derived from the ancient art of Bonsai. I chose quilted Sapelle for the base wood adding ebony and ivory
traditional spliced points which is where "tradition" ends. The inlay designs consist of multiple metals, pearls and ivory. Silver , 14k gold
and copper are dominant while brown lip pearl and white MOP cross the T's and dot the I's. Brown lip pearl is quite scarce these days
but was chosen for its warm tones blending perfectly with the sapelle wood and copper. I broke away from the standard again for the
joint adding ivory scroll work. Obviously I took some chances with this design with the intended effect bordering on asymetrical but still
maintaining a smooth flow throughout. Cue weighs 19.6 oz w/ both shafts. Custom nickel silver joint pin, elephant ear wrap and matching
joint protectors finish the cue. Thanks for another opportunity to express and add to your diverse collection.
Best Regards, Bob
