agreed......to comment on what half fast said, even though Joe used the same basic point shapes many times over, his "LOGO" point in this cue, it was what he did within and around them that made most of the higher end cues individually unique. this is similar to the many different looks and patterns used with traditional pointed cues. you NEVER hear anyone saying "boy that Showman, Szamboti, Tascarella, Herceck, Black, etc...... is awesome BUT they keep using those same spliced points in most of their cues!"..... allot think that because Joe used a limited number of point styles in his work that some how makes the cues "production", short on craftsmanship, or less likely to be unique which, using the above example, and they couldn't be farther from the truth. this cue is no exception and i bet it's a one of one. also to be like every one else on this forum advertising cues for sale, not that i agree all the time but, when counting the inlays why not also include the silver stitches in 3 of rings as well. the silver has to be inlaid into the ring material at some point so why not count it. Joe used three different ring sizes in his cues (different sizes for the collars, above wrap and bellow wrap. the two bellow the wrap would have most likely come from the same stock so you only count one of them) so add 90 inlays to the total....186 total.
