Nice Cues Mason

Nice cues, very fine wood selection, and the one on the right looks like a Davis Blank?

The 5 cues look great.
Hope you will post finished pictures to the gallery and show off that talent.

The one on the right does look like a Davis blank.
Who is working on that if not you?

it is a Davis.Alex Brick is making it.i will post pics when they are done.all the hanldes except one Purpleheart are salvaged Old Growth Sugar maple.i ordered a bunch of it several months ago and 2-3 didn't amke it into shaft quality wood,so i figured they would make awesome handles.

There are some interesting patterns in the handles of the cues.
I do want to see what they look like when you are done.

Thanks again,
Myron
 
Do you have any closeups of cue numbers 3 and 5 (from the left) of the rings near the joint collars? I really like #5 but cant see the ring and was just wondering. Some good looking cues!
 
it is ivory SW style ringwork on both.i used a collet that was too small on 5 and had to cut the rings a little to get the cue out of the lathe.the ringwork in 3 and 5 is the same,but the buckhorn join in 5 is smaller and there will be a small buckhorn collar on the shaft as well.

the woods are from left to right

Nicaraguan Cocobolo with Birdseye handle
Birdsyeye Maple with Curly Koa handle
Macassar Ebony with Quilted Maple handle
Cambodian Rosweood with African Olivewood handle
Gaboon Ebony with Quilted Sapele handle

i also have 3 sneakies going in this batch,but i haven't done anything except cut them so far.

most of the woods are extremely figured,but you won't be able to really see them until finished.

I like how the figure of the Rosewood flows down to the Olivewood.

PS: I'm bias 'coz this is mine. :D
 
Looks good Mason, cant wait to see what the handle looks like after the finish is put on.
