Black Boar (new one) what more can I say

DrPool said:Again time for the same question:
Is there a reason why Tony used a different ringwork at C instead of D and E?
It seems that he took the same CNC patterns for that position even though the diameter of the forearm is thinner. Rendering the batwings again should be the better idea.
In my opinion this 25k(?) cue would have even more charisma without having doubts about this detail...
It looks to me that the ringwork starts farthest apart at E, and moves slightly closer together at D and yet even closer at C, slightly different at each diameter. This just bolsters my amazement of Tony's attention to detail. Also, you need to chill out. Maybe its your English but the initial post you made seemed more like a statement than a "serious" question for Tikkler.

That's the point of the discussion. Personally I would not accept this procedure for a high end cue. The ringwork moves not only clother together at C but also varied in height adjustment comparing with D or E.fullsplicefiend said:
I show the pictures several cue addicts in Germany. Everybody said that's a no-go. The word "updated" in the first post suggests a belated modified cue...?
I watch the cuemakers market for about more than 20 years now. Everbody tries to work with perfect symmetry and evenness. It is the first time that my eyes really tumbled about an inlay detail. That's why I asked the questions.
I'm sorry but my position is absolutely contrary to this ringwork decision. Excuse my poor english.fullsplicefiend said:

I see how this all works now.....EXCUSE me for not seeing the picture. So it was "SEVERAL CUE ADDICTS FROM GERMANY". And of course you, that are picking apart some of my crappy pics of a Black Boar cue.
And how many Black Boars do you bunch of CUE ADDICTS own ??????
LOL..hahahaha...LOL....hahahaha...LOL

your last post was more than unnessecary imho.
indeed there exists a serious discussion of this issue in the german pool forum. the quality of your photos isn`t that bad, how it seems.

i have one of his cues and its amazing, his work is better and better every year, mine is a year or 2 old. It plays great too, for me its about like your cues far as how nice it plays, maybe .1% below your cues. Which is triple great. I like the was he does the joints and how the shafts feel when you put it together-similar to a Bushka.
Tony is one of the top guy's in his type of work, Ernie is right in there too. Ernie has a few cues he's gonna make this year that will be insane.
hey
Thanks again Glen....
By the way, I talked to Tony about these questions. He said that he has made a number of cues where the rings are different sizes. He also said the cue was based on an older design that he loves and wanted to make me one sort of like that.
I also talked to another 2 cuemakers that expressed the same feeling about the ringwork. They both claimed that they feel free to do whatever makes sense and looks good, and are not bound to making exact matching stes on every cue.........
Go figure......the minds of true artists

Gus did it and Barry does it now. Different ring work at several locations was/is quite normal. Hell, I have a 4 point Barry with 6 windows in the butt sleeve, that doesn't conform with any sense but the cue just works. Kersenbrock did all kinds of things that don't work on paper but simply do work when executed correctly. I mean, design police.....give it a rest.
Right....enough of posting on tikkler's threads for me, back to my own.:smile:
