i havent a clue what it looks like, i saw a pic of points in June. Should be done any day.

I heard Little Kenny has pics of the Barry-which I have ZERO idea what it looks like, i just let cue makers do their thing. Turn them loose and let the magic happen, same for my tattoo artist, give them total freedom and they come up big.

"Orca II" by Esoteric Cue

"Orca II' is a 12 point ( 6 high - 6 low ) modified tuxedo cue with just a splash of blood red. It has 138 ivory inlays on a fully cored cue blank with a BEM forearm into ebony, maple handle and ebony butt sleeve. The cue was built and inlaid in the Esoteric Cue Shop by Rick Geschrey in 2012.

This Cue was designed by Ken (Stu) Mortson whereby his inlay design symbolizes a great white shark feeding while he becomes the dinner for the Orca Killer Whale.

The original Orca was inlayed on a patograph over 30 years ago and is the sequel to the famous "Jaws Cue" while Stu was creating design and performing pantograph art in California. The original "Orca" is destined for a permanent display of modern cue art design with 8 other of Stu's masterpiece cues in a New York Art Museum as a legacy.

Orca II is a tribute to this great flowing design and is a compilation of the work of 3 generations. Ken (Stu) Mortson (89) as the designer, Rick Geschrey (58) as the Cue Maker and Ken Simonson (39) as the Cue Artist that rendered the theme of these inlays into Art on the handle.

Thank you for Looking.

Thanks Troy, I love it also. This is my favorite cue at the present time. Also your new Hercek might be my second favorite! :smile: It seems we have similar likes in cue design.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
