Goldfield Burl and Borneo Rosewood



The points are a hybrid process I learned from Tad Kohara in the mid 80's - although he used a pantograph for the processes where I use CNC.

The nose and prongs are cut using traditional full-splice methods, as are the veneer mitered boxes. The pockets for the veneer borders on the points and for the boxes in the buttsleeve are machined out using CNC.

Your cues never cease to amaze. The attention to detail, not just in the execution, but more importantly in the design, sets your cues into their own class.

Thanks for describing some of your techniques. When I see intricate cues like yours, as much as I love how beautiful they are, I am as interested in trying to figure out how they were made. It’s like trying to figure out how magicians perform their tricks.

Great work, as always.
 
Thomas, your cues never disappoint. Your execution is always flawless and your designs are truly unique and inspirational. I know, I have a few myself :). When I acquired your Valissa some years back it became the crown jewel in my collection. It is also the one cue that I feel is worth more today than when it was made. For those who might not have ever seen it, here's a pic. I hope you don't mind.

BTW, thanks for dropping in on AZ from time to time.

Regards,
Paul

Thanks, Paul - that is actually one of my favorite designs too. BTW, very nice collage.
