My friend in Terre Haute has a Tim Scruggs cue with little ivory diamonds with silver dots drilled and inlayed into the diamonds.
He used this pattern in the joint collars and Tim told him he wished he had never agreed to do that. He said it was so small the ivory chipped or busted so often he actually had to do about twice as many just to replace the ones that were broken.
As cue buyers, I love to try to make it as difficult as possible for the maker...:thumbup:
