You might want to think about some inlays.

Zack....just couldn't help yourself, eh? Lol.:D You may want to consider insurance for your cues once you receive this one!!:eek:

Ross....Jimbo has been privy to the design of this particular cue, as have I, from it's conception.:) I am guessing you're on that 'short' list as well.;)

I freakin' LOVE the box or bridged points!;)

For those who in the past may have misunderstood, or just not really got what I've been talking about over and over about cue collecting you are going to view it first hand right here through the eyes of Mr. Zeeder.
To come up with an original design, revamp it show it off and get opinions. And then to search out a cuemaker, one you connect with on a personal level, one who you respect his work and ability and one willing to do the design the way you want. Finally to get pictures of the progress and process and to be able to watch your creation come to life. There is nothing like it, it's something a guy who buys a cue from a dealer never gets to experience. It's the Journey of that cue and the story behind it, it's the pride he will feel the first time he hits a ball. I'm excited for him, there is nothing in the world like it. Congrats Z.

I know of what you speak. I got 50% of that feeling on my last project.
It got me a little scared, when I got pictures of another AZer's cue in production and not mine..... :eek:
But now that I have both cues, mine and the other Azer's, I now feel 100% better about the process. LOL ;)

I agree Jimbo...every cue I have designed and watched "created" from raw wood to a tool that can be used and appreciated...It makes you love your cue and view them as art.

Rep points for making me tear up...

-Roger (the journey of a cue...what a tearjerker...)
 
Zack: I forgive you for fooling around with other cuemakers, but just this once. I will be ordering my 4th skip soon enough, lol.

-Roger (don't mind me I'm jealous...great looking cue so far)
 
Makes you wish it was late 2007, huh zeeder??? ;)

One thing I'm not sure I told you is that you won't believe the finish Jim puts on. "Like glass" does not begin to describe it . . . . :cool:

Jim definitely hit the nail on the head with this one. There is no greater satisfaction, when it comes to pool cues anyway, than going through this process and having a cue that you have an immediate bond with. The excitement you feel when the cue finally ships and the anticipation you have opening the box and looking at your cue for the first time, and then putting everything else aside while you go to the pool hall to hit some balls because you just can't wait...lol. It is a journey and a great experience. If you do something unique and come up with your own design you also don't have to worry about going into the hall and meeting someone with the same cue as yours!

Thanks Jim for all of your help and for such a great post!

Lisa, I figured that since I'd posted my photoshop, sans inlays, of the forearm that I might as well post the actual picture! That and I couldn't help myself. :D

Bells and JLITALIEN, thanks for your kind words. I can't wait until the cue is done so I can show off the design I came up with.

Ross, I tried to talk Jim into adding a bunch of glue resevoirs but he talked me out of it...lol.

Roger, I can't wait to see your next Skip! It was hard for me to not have Skip build this cue as I love his work. That being said, I decided that the best thing to do for my collection at this point, given my limited funds, is to diversify as much as possible. I hope to be able to start adding additional cues by my favorite makers in the not too distant future though! As I always say, so many cuemakers...so little money. :( :D

It does, although it certainly allows me to practice being patient. You didn't mention the finish but that certinaly makes me happy to hear!
