This just arrived today and I couldn't be happier. I feel Bob outdid even himself with this one, it is perfect from top to bottom! Ivory into cocobolo with silver veneers and double inlays of mop into abalone, the cue is breathtaking in person. Bob was a pleasure to work with and his enthusiasm shows in his work. Thank you Bob for delivering a masterpiece!

Even though I may have seen pictures of the cue in progress, the finished result is still beyond words.
The rings are AWESOME!
Lovely cue and some exceptional work throughout by Bob.

Thanks for the e-mails and if you ever chalk it up please let us know how it hits.

Wow! Damn! Hamminah.... Hamminah.... Hamminah.... that cue puts butterlies in my stomach. Your pics are fabulous too.
 
I normaly don´t like MOP and Abalone that much, but it looks realy great in that masterpiece.
The cocobolo has a great colour and nice grain, too and Bob is doing a hell of a job on this one again.
Congrats to a fantastic cue :thumbup:

Thanks Erich. I don't think I've ever seen MOP and Abalone together like this before, but they sure look nice together. The MOP is almost metallic in character and really catches the light as you turn the cue. I can't imagine how painstaking it must have been for Bob to perfectly inlay the MOP into the small abalone diamonds. Just amazing!
