Most of these are very close to done, just needing inlays and joint collars and butt sleeves. I haven't done any inlays for several weeks until today. Hopefully will get a few of these ready to spray in the next few days.

Big Tattoo's Set - I wasn't happy with the inlays on the first attempt with these. I had inlaid the plain one first and didn't realize I made the pieces too big for the points in the other until I cut it. I wanted to use the piece of Narra, so I salvaged what was there and recut the points over the old points.

That's all for today. Need to get back to work.
 
I always think your cues are awesome, until you put inlays in them.

I like all of the cues posted "without" any thing else added.

Call me crazy.

Nice job, seriously.

Tony,

I admit I dont know everything about cuemakers and who the big boys are, etc. but if YOU are NOT considered a top maker, YOU DAMN SURE SHOULD BE!

After seeing the Gambler cue (which I LOVED and I dont like Gambler cues) and seeing others you have made, your work is simply amazing! To me you and Chris Byrne and even Doug Patrick (and my man Jim Lee) are being looked over by the "general population" IMHO.

You are putting out some badass cues!! I hope you keep updating us with your builds as I enjoyed seeing the Gambler Cue come together from start to finish. I know you cant do that all the time as you have cues to build, but to this cue dumbass I LOVE seeing threads like this. Keep up the great work and you never know, if money comes together my next cue might just be a Zinzola!!!!!

Nice cues Tony. That cue you are making your daughter is niiice!! I am not a huge fancy person in general but the veneers look great. Keep it up man.
 
Talking about a pipeline....

Beautiful work, great combos of wood. So this is what they are talking about when they say having a pipeline of work and wood. Unbelievable..
 
I'm the Amboyna Sucker

Tony,
miss the second Cue, it was wrapless Amboyna/Narra/Amboyna or Narra/Amboyna/Narra, I forget looooong time ago was ordered:eek::wink:
Ralf:grin:
 
Are all of them sold already?

All are sold except the Olive Wood / Cambodian Rosewood, the Plain Bocote and since the Amboyna should have been Wrapless, that one is available too. Rest are all sold. There were quite a few more that didn't' make the photos, but I don't think any of the others are available. If they are, I'll post up some photos later.

Oh yeah, the two 3 pointers with the Ivory in between are not sold, but they are for the Expo next year.

Ross doesn't need that ironwood/maple cue. Feel free to send it south instead of west.

Sure, send me your address. The great news is it's already paid for, so you don't have to send me any money.

Mainly bumping this for my new Avatar. Had to get ready for the World Series. My daughter already has been saying "Go Yankees' to anybody with a Red Sox hat on for months (which is about 99% of the population here). She once let a "Go Red Sox" slip out, but didn't like the 4 hour time out she received for it.

Hasn't been a very productive week as far as getting some of these inlaid. I think after today though my wife and I have an agreement, so I should be able to get a little bit more done during the day. Hopefully some updated photos by the weekend.
 
That's a real sporty lookin' Yankees fan there!
Will be looking forward to some updates. Lots of great stuff in the works. Hope you got my "x" pattern worked out...
