Here is a few pictures of some butt sleeves, 2 are ivory, one I still have to cut out the parts for, pockets are done, other one just needs trimming.
Butt with the double spears is 1.265 x 3.125, inlays are 100,000's deep
That is the only one that is ready, the propeller butt still has to be trimmed.
Just thought I would show them off, sort of proud of them.
Will post the others when they are done.

I also am flirting with the idea of selling a few in the future. If I do I will list them in the parts section. Just wanted to show these off and see what you all thought about them.

I have a BEM forearm with 4 ebony point and veneers, going to add some of those spears into the forearm, leather wrap. Ivory joint. Should make for a good looking cue. Have been working on billets today. Not much fun, but a must.

here are a couple new ones

Me and the coco one fought for a few afternoons. It won. I had the pin in the indexer crooked, so the inlays ran off a bit. I spent about 4 hours trying to figure it out. Was standing by the machine and I saw light where no light should of been. Problem solved, I went on and finished it, Its not horrible, but not sales worthy. Doing another as I type.

I love Steve's work. He is meticulous about everything. He is making me a phenolic conversion beast - can't wait until it is done. His thought process about building and putting things in non - conventional order is exciting. Kind of a visionary when it comes to design and layout. The other great thing about working with him is that he stays in communication with you. He is an up and comer for sure - and I am proud to call him a friend.
