Hey Larry,
Your conscientiousness and obsession is paying off and showing in your work..
Being honest , true to oneself and others opens the door to progress.
Asking questions to learn is one thing, But, to get answers from the top knowledgeable guys in the field is another.
Such said, you base your cues on construction and techniques that are shared by those who have "Proven" track records of their Cues..
Joey, Eric C. , Dave, Micheal and all the others (You know who I mean)
have all "Chipped in" with a wealth of knowledge that in other cases, would never be shared.
What goes around, comes around....
BTY, The colors (Especially the Blacks) are well balanced...
