I saw your cue in progress when I was at Steve's shop the other day! If you think it looks good in those pictures....wow, just wait until you see it in person. Especially once finish is on it!! Steve is a friend of mine, so I'm lucky and get to see some of his new stuff and works in progress since he is not too far from me! I'm glad to know you are getting this cue and you absolutely will not be disappointed!
