AZB Cue of the Year 2012 Entries

[Worminator]

Here we go again folks with the "AZB Cue of the Year " 2012 edition. I think we all enjoyed last year's thread even though there was some debating going on. Here are the rules:

1. Cue has to have been made in 2012
2. Cue should be owned, or at least one time owned by an AZB member
3. AZB Cuemakers can submit 1 cue they made in 2012 for entry
4. POST PICTURES OF YOUR ENTRY IN THIS THREAD BY JAN 1st

I will choose the top 20-25 cues for the poll, and post the poll soon after Jan 1st.

Happy holidays to all, and I'm looking forward to posting up the incredible cues.

Here are the first two entries.

Tim Prince Amboyna Box Cue

Pete Tonkin - Chevron Cue

180 points - ebony, pink ivory, and blood wood.

This is an insanely intricate piece. Using traditional machining techniques, No CNC & no Panto-graph. I love this cue. Wish it was mine!

It's been a pretty long time since a cue just made me stop breathing and stare in awe...that is something special.

Both cues will be finished, one is a Barry the other is a Boar(I havent seen either of them) i'm sure they will be competitive.

please if possible give me a little wiggle room for posting the pics(like 48 hours) i'm on a plane on the 31st.

thanks again
