Early evening bump for a real players cue

It is a much better deal than good....the fancy ringwork alone is a $350 option, and Cory will no longer do it on a player...just too much work involved with inlaying 200 small pieces of silver.

Thanks Joe, I had no idea the ring option was $350. Cory's attention to detail really shows with those rings,unfortunatly the pics don't really do any justice you really have to see one of his cues up close & personal.

Nice rings. And if folks have not tried it, bubinga plays super. Makes a much more lively feeling cue than maple/ebony

Jim,
Yes, it is expensive because it is so labor intensive. Each fancy ring (there are 3 fancy rings) consists of 60 hand inlaid pieces of silver, and there are 20 more in each of the joint rings. There is no template or pre-made rings to be used. Cory hand inlays each piece just as a jeweller would. It can take him 16-20 or more hours just to do all the inlays. At 200 inlays, it only comes out to about $1.50 or so per inlay, so you can see why he no longer does them on simpler cues.
