Considering he uses a template/panto, it should be flawless. Good looking cue though!

that doesn't make any sense.... are you saying that the work from all those who use these machines is flawless??? if you are, i think you need to get more involved in the making process and "see" just how many flaws can arise during it while using these machines. FYI, Joe stopped using his "template" pantogragh in the early 90's the rest of the cues were pocketed using his Tree milling machine fastened with a CNC controller. which by the way, the use of CNC controlled machines does not even come close to absolving anyone of having flaws in their work either.
as far as the cue being "good looking".....i'll be glad to selfishly take part of that credit and saythank you. i designed the main points in that cue. it's called "Spire".
I've seen this particular cue at proficient billiards some time ago and it amazed me at the very first time. Great looking cue, good luck with the sale.
Very nice cue. People that make negative remarks about Joe's cues, have obviously not played with one. Joe's 6 point logo cue, was the first custom cue I ever bought, and I still have it & will never sell it, I love the way it plays. Good luck with the sale, someone is getting a great playing cue, whoever buys it.

pardon my vagueness
It made sense, for a vague statement. No, folks that use machines are still very able to acheive less than flawless. My comment was narrowminded in the sense of the inlays only. There are many more steps/stages where things can go wrong. I am involved in the process, and have 'seen' more. I know when Joe stoped using his temps, because I first met and visited him in his shop in late 1993 (when he was still using them). This was my first of several visits to his shop. During these visits we spoke of the entire construction process. His own words were something like 'these templates make it hard to go wrong'.
My statement was vague in response to an equally vague statement. No need for bunched panties.

-btw, there was no negative comment made about his cues. No need to be so defensive or read into things, ladies.
Joe's craftsmanship in impeccable, The day I received the cue in the mail I took my 10x lope, and looked at every square inch of that cue and did not find a flaw in the cue, not one. My friend bought Roy's last Cog a few months back, and it was the same workmanship in his cue, as was in mine, FLAWLESS. I can't wait to see what Joe comes up with when he gets back to work. Craftsmanship & playability, what more could you want.
