Butterflys at its best!

When I first saw the cue I was in amazement , just awesome I thought. I stared at it for a while and loved it , I sure did not see flaws. to dream it up is one thing , exacting is another. this is not easy by no means you have to put your self in a different place and time to pull off stuff like this . he stepped out on the ''GRID'' a place no man dares to go. hats off to you, nice job, thanks Bill for posting .

I, personally, am sick of hearing people criticize and pass judgement on things they don't know squat about,
in places where their criticism was not wanted or expected,

I may be wrong,but it is my understanding that this forum is for people to show cues to us for our enjoyment.not our cynical comments.

This cue is so complex and intricate that it deserves our admiration,my compliments to Richard for his work,
I had no idea that he was this talented,I have never seen such a cue.

My further compliments go out to Bill Grassly of Cornerstone for showing this cue to us as a courtesy.

The least we could do our show common sense and decency by either complimenting
his efforts or refraining from replying

Didn't mother always say
Don't say anything if you can't say something nice

or something like that.

I also remember a quote by Teddy Roosevelt "Its not the critic who counts but the guy
in the trenches who is putting his life on the line

If anyone has the quote it might be profitable

Again thanks to Bill with the advice
Don't let the turkeys get you down

Please continue showing your cues,it is the only chance most
of us ever get to see such works of art

Yesterday at the pool room ,players whobarely can afford a sneaky pete were
excited and happy to talk about the many fine cues they saw

Chances are good they will never buy a cue from Bill
but they are delighted to see them

And conversely people who overly praise things they don't know squat about. Just compliment the work and let it ride or say you don't like it and let it ride.

This forum section is show and tell, not show and get critiqued from every angle. Unless one INVITES criticism then it should be withheld.

This is Teddy's full quote:

No you don't. You are one of the most patient and understanding men I have ever known. It's a privilege to know you and be inspired by how well you support those in the business with not only your patronage but also your encouragement and willingness to allow us to experiment on your dime.

Thank you.

I don't remember whose pics these are, but they're from the forum.
Maybe someone can chime in here that knows- I think the cue won some kind of award at the ICCS in 2010?

That Dragon cue is AWESOME.

Seems like Brian should be entitled to voice his opinion if he sees flaws so be it.This is NOT the FOR SALE Section. Are we only allowed to OOOOH and AWWWW here? I think it is a Beauty and see NO FLAWS. Brian has a trained EYE...Sees flaws and has his ass jumped for pointing out his observations? What the hell? Ron Seymour
