Here is my brand new Bob MANZINO cue....It could be available...pm if interested. Bobs description

Steve, I call this one "Dueling Dragons" . I started with splicing some deep scarlet burl trimmed with silver into the main ebony stock creating the frame work for the inlay designs. Opposing dragon heads in ivory frame pearl diamond shapes forming the basis for the layout. Stylized ivory points inlayed with burl and tipped in silver extend from the dragons lending to the overall flow. The point work is abreviated in the butt sleeve. Each pearl diamond is single point engraved in a fine scroll pattern. Fine silver scroll work and pearl between the points and abreviated in the butt sleeve provide the accents to complete the design. Ivory joint and butt cap, polished nickel silver joint pin, El ear wrap and matching joint protectors add to the luxury. Once again, thank you for your continued commitment to support our small industry as ours is born of a labor of love that cannot prevail without the interest of those that can appreciate it. Best regards, Bob

I love Manzinos work.

Whenever you post a new one, I know it will be a design Ive never seen before.

Beautiful cue.

Thanks for posting and sharing your collection....
 
Amazing Manzino

It is just amazing at how this cue overflows with time & talent. (Not trying to take anything away from other cue-makers here)

One of the pinnacles of pool-cue eye-candy is right here!
 
I agree this is one beautiful piece, but I also read your other posting where you showed flawed work of another maker. I notice flaws, many of them in this cue from the silver work, to broken ivory inlays, to misaligned inlays. And I have seen many of this person's cues on here since I have joined, and I will admit, he is very talented and shows much patience and dedication in his work.
Does this mean in two years if his cues drop out of the limelight, he will get a bad thread like the other guy? Newby just wondering
 
I don't think people in general know how blown up the pictures are of these cues, most of the flaws you would never see with the naked eye,just saying. Don't think this type of work was ever meant to be photographed under a microscope like this. Lot of hard work went into these cues, shame these people's work have to be brought down by modern technology.

The great cuemakers like Bob manzino, enjoy seeing closeup pics of their work. Its how they see them personally all day long as they are constructed. They are proud to show off the high level of workmanship that goes into these beautiful pieces of art. these pics show why Bobs cues are so incredible and Zinzolas pics show why his cues arent.....
 
I would agree this cue in this post is incredible, no doubt. And you can tell a level of talent between the two makers, no question. But I am a logical man, I would venture to say this cue was much more in price than the cue in the other post, correct? I follow the old phrase, you get what you pay for. If you were expecting a high level of quality like this out of a much lesser priced maker and cue, fault falls on you. As I do agree it reads to me the other deal was handled improperly, but apples for apples, not under a microscope with a lens, both cues I bet would be eye catching and nice. I was just stating my opinion. This cue has flaws also, not as many , but flaws all the same. It's human error, some do take more pride, i agree with you.

Being this is a thread on another great Bob Manzino cue, I am sort of lost on where you are trying to go with this. Please explain, and help me out here.

I expressed my opinion on the excellence of this cue in this post, but just asked a gentlemanly question and included your other post for reference. I did not mean to intertwine the two if it were against the rules here. Was just an opinion, with a question concerning your views in an open discussion. Was this out of line?
 
Outstanding cue!!!

How does Bob keep outdoing himself? Incredible.

Thanks for the beautiful pics and congrats on a beautiful cue.

You'd be a fool if you sell this cue. It's easily one of the best Manzinos made to date.

Steve, beautiful Manzino as usual, always a 1 of 1 from Bob!
I love my Manzino as well, and thanks for sharing.
 
Awesome cue Steve!...I still would rather buy your Tangiers cue though :grin:. Thanks for sharing.
