I like the ringwork and the detail in the spear tips . The rest is the cue is ho hum . I liked the one that was up for cue of the year a lot more.
 
Not usually a fan of one piece cues where the handle area isn't segmented but dam this cue is screaming and yanking at me to love it and I do...
 
Thomas, is this cue long or short spliced? I am having a hard time telling....but the cue is so cool!

I say that is an anniversary cue worthy of representing an innovative and artistic body of cue making.

Not sure how to answer that; it's a version of a "full splice", in that the 10 prongs from the handle section are spliced into "V" grooves in the forearm. The same method (in reverse) is used to join the handle section to the butt end.

The tips of the Walnut points (handle wood) are razor sharp - inherent in any V-point - but the crotch of each point is not sharp, due to the saw kerf. However, the Ivory "skeleton points" (inlaid after the main cue parts are spliced together) prevent either end of the splice points from being seen in the finished cue. The center wood in each Ivory point is the original forearm wood (not a separate inlay), keeping the grain lines continuous throughout.
