This cue is a Sonoran Original called "The Oasis," and it is the first design to be offered in the Florencio Line by Sonoran Cue Creations out of Phoenix, AZ.

The Oasis features an original hand-carved design, accentuated with special staining and tinting, and is protected by a French-style hand rubbed finish.

All Sonoran Originals are built to only one set of construction specifications to ensure that they all provide the same unique hit.

The Oasis in the picture weighs 19.0 ounces, and has a shaft diameter of 13.18 millimeters. The Oasis is valued at $2,000.

Neat cue Lenny. It wouldn't work for me, as I tend to be a bit 'handsy' with my butts. Which is why I prefer no wrap.

Thanks for the compliments on this cue, I knew this cue was in the works and when I got to see it in person I was stunned at how cool it is. :)

I heard it took many hours to complete, perhaps the builder will chime in and tell us how long it took. I am interested to see how cues like this will look in other woods. :)
 
I like the bumper.

When I was a kid there was a spot where they had carved cues forsale, I must have been 10 years old, so its very hard for me to remember where. They were dark rosewood stained looking things with Asian themes to them and brass hardware, not the quality of this cue not even close. Seems like it was a swap meet or something, but I do 100% remember the cues, some were also cains with big brass knobs on top, more like walking sticks not cains. None of them were expensive.

I think the first carved cue I had ever seen was actually a Sampaio, they are in the blue book I think, pretty cool cues and you see them up for sale once in awhile. :)

I think its one of those things, to each their own. I have had people tell me they did not like cues I have owned that I thought were gorgeous and everyone would like. I do think its interesting to see peoples opinions on it, it certainly is a unique cue and I am looking forward to see how different woods look like with this type of carving into it.
 
awesome cue art!

wow fast lenny

wish i own that cue! i would love to make a matching 1x2 envelope case for this beauty! the case would be loaded up with hand tooling similar to the scroll and leaves design pattern this awesome piece of art has. another masterpiece! just beautiful! kudos to the cuemaker.

I think a lot of people would be turned of by a cue like this because of all those cheap old carved cues that were worth more as fire wood than pool cues. As a wood worker I like this cue for the work involved, the patience and the high level of detail. As a cue fan I like it for its unique style and detail but I wouldn't necessarily look to add it to my collection. Very interesting piece and thanks for sharing! Looking forward to seeing more from Sonoran Cues!

Thanks Rich, it was a good deal of work in this cue. I am sure you could make an awesome case to go along with this cue. I am sure when it finds an owner whether it is on here or someone else they could contact you to do a case. Your work is Primo Remo! :thumbup:
 
this kind of cue can definitely be appreciated for it fine details and technical execution. I would love to see more cues like this but with other cultural styles. Maybe british lions or european influence carvings. I can see a multitude of ideas coming from engraving/carving type of cues.

Edwin Reyes had a few ivory join/butt carvings with dragons and asian influenced designs. I love that kind of work.

Keep up the good work.
