WOW BEAUTIFUL CUE AND THE BEST PART OF THE ORIGINAL POST WAS THE PART THAT STATED YOU HAVE CHAULKED AND PLAYED BOTH SHAFTS AS I'M A TRUE BELIEVER OF PLAYING WITH THESE BEAUTIFUL WORKS OF ART. SO WITH THAT CONGRATS ON YOUR NEWEST PLAYER. SOMEDAY I HOPE TO OWN SUCH A CUE :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
The most impressive thing about the best cuemakers like Barry, Gus, Scruggs, Cochran, Searing etc is how they can take an element of a cue I normally don't like and do it in a way where I absolutely love it.
In this case it's abalone. I normally don't care for it and prefer mother of pearl to it, but on this cue it is fantastic.
