I visited Art with some pizellas one afternoon when he was working on this cue. We had a glass of wine and talked a little about it. He was really proud of the engraving work. The veneer colors are also unbelievable in person. You really have a winner with this one Stan. Art has produced few cues, we all know that, but among those rarities, there are just a handful with engraving on them. Enjoy it!
