This cue is gorgeous. I believe Chris bought the wood from me at the SBE. That piece of quilt was a very rare figured hard spault..a freak piece that I paid $100 to acquire, as a turning square.
This cue will never be duplicated and any maple lover should take notice...the pics can't do it justice. I have been impressed with Chris' knowledge and integrity as a builder of fine cues... don't snooze on this one, it is one of a kind.
