Wow !

Jack,

That cue is fantastic. Your work is becoming just outstanding.

Congradulations on you achievment.

My best wishes to you and your family.

I think of your son and you often.

I agree, very nice design sir. I'm tired of the same old lemings that most cue makers keep turning out, and everyone keeps praising. Keep up the good work!

Edit: I keep looking at it wondering if some inlays in those cocobolo flames would give it that little something extra, but I can't make up my mind. I hope you take that as constructive, because it sure is a nice piece of work.

Very Nice Cue Jack, I love the traditional look of the cue!!!!!!
 
That is one beauty of a cue, Jack.
For those who have not had the pleasure, Jack's cues play fantastic. Just got mine a few weeks ago and I love it. Don't expect this one to be around long!

I guess I need to explain something on the butterflys. The interior butterflys don't look like they are even. They aren't and it was intentional. The top butterfly configuration has a matching even butterfly configuration 180 degrees on the other side of the forearm. The lower butterfly configuration you see has a matching even butterfly configuration 180 degrees on the other side of the forearm. In other words instead of 4 matching butterfly configurations there are two matching opposite each other and the other two match and are opposite each other on the cue. Confused:)
 
I have seen this a couple of times and can't understand it. The JP for the butt has a hole in the top!! Why isn't it a solid piece like the JPs for the shafts? Will the extra length make it too long for the standard case? It may be silly but I would want them all to match. Is there a reason for this design?
