I have been shooting with this for almost a year, and love it, but I am looking to get into a wrapped cue

Story:
This cue was made by Scott Gracio and all white is ivory, and there are too many inlays to count. The boxed points (4 of them with inlays) have veneers with black paper between each dominant veneer, and the white inverted scallops are ivory and the only cue out there with them, including the curved boxes in the butt. All dots are copper and are at each position. The dashed lines between each stone spearhead in the rings are also copper. The stone inlays in the boxes, points and rings are labradorite outlined in silver. the inlays in the points and boxes are shaped as a dual-head ax with a spear tip. The stone inlay in the rings are spearheads outlined in silver.

Components:
2 shafts spun by Scott to perform close to LD shafts
3 joint protectors made of rosewood matching the points and butt
brass piloted 3/8-10 pin
Copper plugs (2 of them)
Rubber plug (1)
Kamui Black Super Soft Tips
Ivory everywhere except in the ferrules

Specs:
1. The butt is a little on the heavy side, I think its about 15.6 oz, forward balanced
2. Each shaft is close to 4oz, 12.70mm, kamui black ss tips. Slight blue tint from play, only used the shafts a few times. used tiger shafts mostly
3. Juma ferrules I believe. They are NOT ivory. phenolic insert in the shaft for the piloted 3/8-10 pin.
4. The 1/2" ivory joint is sleeved over stainless steal, brass 3/8-10 pin piloted
5. Point veneers from outside in are: black, blue, black paper, red, black paper, orange, black paper, yellow, black paper. these veneers are repeated, but in reverse order on each shield (box) in the butt.

Cue is signed between the points, as well as engraved on the copper butt plug. Scott's warranty is bar none, cue life time.

Bottom line:
I know what I put into the cue, and there will be at least one poster to ask about price. Well, we all know the market isn't great, and trade value is higher than cash value. So, let's keep this easy. Please PM me offers, either one to one trade ( wrapped cues preferred) or a cash offer for this one of a kind, never seen before type cue.

For additional cost:
I also have two tiger X Ultra LD shafts, one with a sniper tip and the other with an Onyx, both 12.75 original specs. The one with the sniper appears to have a slight roll, not sure. In addition, I have 2 140 year old hard rock maple shafts from Steve Klapp that came from a building as reclaimed shaft wood. These shafts are the nuts. One is 13mm and the other is 12.6mm. One of these has a slight roll, doesn't affect play, and again I am not even sure there is a roll but want to be honest.

I am taking this cue to the Expo, and if there is interest between now and then I would entertain. I would love to see what else is out there. This is a great cue, by a great cue maker. I am looking for a cue with a wrap, and hopefully someone has one for trade.

thanks

It would be of help for me if you would take a picture that shows the entire forearm (the points are only really seen in the full cue shot), and one of the joint looking somewhat straight at the pin.

Thanks,

Chris.
