This is the first cue I've finished in 2011 due to my computer issues. The cue was actually done at the end of last year, but I had to recreat my ringwork for the shafts. It was several days of tests to get it where I wanted it. It's actually the 10th cue I ever built. I had Gina send it back to me quite a while ago, changed the ringwork and added inlays.

Four cocobolo points on an Ebony Forearm. Veneers of Green, Blue, Green and Blue. Ringwork was changed to my dot / barbell style in... Ivory and Abalone. Inlays in points are Abalone Notched Diamonds with a .005" Ivory border. Ivory borders around the dots in the ringwork are also .005".

Butt consists of 4 Abalone Notched Diamonds with .008" Ivory Borders and 16 Abalone Dots with .008" Ivory Borders.

Black Phenolic Joint and Butt Cap. Black Bison Wrap.

No Art. I'll have a few there. Chase down Mickey to see his. It's going to be pretty nice. I'll also have one at the Straight Pool challenge being raffled off. A few more will be floating around too.

I won't have any of my own to sell. Kenny C and Jamie should though. Also Guycrunch should have at least one, possibly two to sell.

HOLY SMOKES! Just when I spoke good word about Zinzola he brings this out.:thumbup:

I like the veneers too, maybe even a brighter shade of those same colors (of course it could be the picture) but I like that ALOT!
 
Awesome work as always Mr. Zinzola.


Congratulations Mickey!

Is this being shipped or are you getting at VF?

Chris, this isn't Mickey's. Mickey's will be a bit fancier. It will take me a few days to inlay his, but his tests are done, so I should have it at VF for him.
 
Turned out real nice, Tony... But it looks like Ebony into Coco. make it thru w/o any serious skin stuff? I about half expected my cue would be the last cocobolo cue you'd ever do.
 
This one was done in 2007 Chris. I guess it is Ebony on Coco. It's twin was the other way around.

I'm doing a couple right now, but I take them slow. Last thing I do before I quit for the day. Seems the allergies aren't as bad as they were. I'm sure if I overdo it, they'll be back though.

That won't work because, as he says a couple posts up, Mickey doesn't "carry cues with". Guess he'll have to leave the cue in PA. :p
