First thank you all for the really nice compliments!!
I'm honored that I got to build a cue that in return would help some one in my family in a serious time the way it did. Thank you Sean!
I'm not an inlay counter. I design a cue in a way that makes me feel it flows, so what ever inlays go into a cue to create that feel, or look in my mind is what I do. It doesn't matter if it's 700 inlays, or 8. Sometimes I feel it's what you don't do that can make a cue special. If I was going to count inlays like on this cue, I would count for instance one of the gold bordered dashes as two inlays because there's two separate pieces. There's a pocket cut for the gold, and a pocket cut into the gold for the ivory. With that in mind, there's 243 inlays in the cue. I'm also including the "searing" logo because each letter is an individual part cut from gold plate, and a .0055" pocket cut for each one.
Regarding the use of .005" bits to do the inlay work, I'm afraid it was made to sound like I said no one else used, or does use a .005" bit. That's not what I meant, or said. I was asked if any one else used the .005" bits I used to do much of the inlay work in the cue, and my answer was that I didn't think so, at least not yet. The only reason I said I didn't think so is because the particular bits I'm using I had custom made for me to cut deeper than any other .005" bit I've seen available. I think there are a number of cue makers on here that know I will help another maker if I can, and have many many times. They also know that it's not my style to speak negative of fellow cue makers. Please except my apology if it sounded that way. Every one trying to make cues with care has my respect.

Thanks again for the compliments, it makes the effort we all put into a cue worth while!

Dennis

Dennis.....very respectful as always.......

oh yea....love the cue

how much is a thousandth/ mil?

.005" is roughly the thickness of a sheet of paper.
Most people's eyes can't discern the difference between .005" and .010"
but you can certainly imagine it when you see it under a lens.

Cutting the letters for your name must have been a nightmare.

Having said that, I have to say that I didn't mean to imply that you were
misleading or disrespecting anyone.
I can't imagine how many hours/ bits went into this project.

a nightmare?....well it can be a HUGE one if you don't know what you're doing......Dennis does

skins -------------- knows Dennis knows

Gotta admit that I copied the pics to keep, bet there's been a lot of that going on.
This is just such a hugely impressive & satisfying piece of work, from a technical, design, and aesthetic standpoint. Maximum effect from every part, and nothing that gets in your way or trips you up as you look along it.
Typical, all class, response from Dennis, too. He stands, unselfishly, among a very small, and very elite group of artisans that represent the frontier all others see in front of them.

 

[tasaddicts]

I appologise I'm the one who started the inlay count issue in this thread and that was out of line, I know this is a old thread but reading it again I didnt like what I said, So Please accept my sincerest appologies.

the fact is this is a beatiful cue that took lots of love and passion to build and made the new owner very happy, thats whats important. Not how many of this or that. Its a cue that has great provonance and will be a special cue for long as we'll all be alive. I'm glad to see this thread has resurfaced and I could appologise.

Happy new Year,

Eric

 

[Jason Koopman]

This cue is very worthy of being posted in the AZ cue of the year, should you wish to do so.
