First off, can't start this thread without posting yours first

Second, Lambros makes exceptionally pretty merry widows. He is currently building me a cocobolo merry widow with rings and a waterfall bubinga handle.

I love the Birdseye and white (phenolic?) in the joint and shafts. Can't believe it is not sold. I have a nice mobley that I would trade for it but would need about 950 to boot with your cue. I even love the old school white with green speck wrap . Your cue is the perfect "plain " Jane.

It is better looking in person. I've been playing with it some since giving up on selling it. Really had forgotten just how much I liked how it hits. For now I'm keeping it, might sell it or the barnhart this fall.

Joint is juma. I think Ryan really got what I wanted perfectly and he was great to work with.

Unless you are insistent on a linen type wrap for playability, I would go with a wood wrap which really elevates the appearance of a sneaky by Lambros to the next level:

would selling a plain jane with a linen wrap be harder\less value?

Probably a little but not much

If those are your "plain janes" I'd love to see your fancy merry widows...

That cue is awesome too joey. Have never hit with one of your cues but hope to in the future.

Canon lens for sale

I don't know if this interest any of you guys.

Canon TSE 24mm MK 1

Very unique focusing system

I also have a canon EF-S 10 - 22mm lens for sale

The last photo was done with a TSE 17mm using the cross polarization technic.

Linear polarized film over the strobe CPL on the lens .

Cross Polarization removes the electromagnetic polarized waves that create polarized reflection when coming in contact with all non metallic smooth surfaces ..
