All I've had some fun tinkering with Mike Bender over the past couple of years. Mike took on several projects for me: 1. authenticating a DPK I bought on here from Troy years ago, 2. building a cue David started but never finished when Omega closed, and 3. refinishing one of his cues, which is a stunner. In the project cue, Mike matched David's specs with the shafts and the cue turned out beautiful. It's one of those cues that if "you're in the know" you definitely know what it is, otherwise it's a sleeping monster of a cue. The inlaid cue is stunning and Mike built two additional shafts. It's an honor to have what I consider to be on of David's more elegant cues.
This is a tremendous collection of history seeing the evolution from DPK to DPK/Bender to Bender. To me Mike has surpassed David in his skill and playability of cues. It was an honor to work with such an accomplished cue builder and have him contribute to the history I have now. Hope you all enjoy the pics! And Thank you again Mike!
Cheers,
Ryan
