Picked up my BHQ butterfly from Brent this week. Pics are posted here:

As usual, the pics don't do it justice. Brent did a great job with fit and finish. He delivered ahead of schedule, and was fun to work with on the design. (Hard to believe that what started out as a gluey hunk of wood slabs could turn out so nice.)
The cue is nicely balanced and has a solid feel. I was curious about the micarta ferrule, but I don't know how to make an accurate comparison given that I don't have any other cues with Tiger dynamite tips. The hit is softer than the cues I usually play, but that's likely to change as the tip is broken in (reminds me of a brand new Sniper). Despite the softer hit, there's still good feedback and, most importantly, predictable performance. Excellent action on the CB when you want it.
Love the cue, and many thanks to Brent for delivering what was promised ahead of time at a great price.
