hercek "royal flush"

i guess it wouldn't be pc to call it the "spade cue", would it.
that's the nicest "card " engraving cue i've seen. i like that hercek avoided the temptation of adding color to the cards.
 
That cue is absolutely gorgeous!!! I can't wait for 2007. Can you post some more pics?

Yeah I definitely agree that the wrap clashes... A nice textured leather wrap would do it more justice... Nonetheless, thats an awesome looking cue!! Keep it up, Jeff!!!

If I recall correctly, the last time he posted this cue it was said that the cue is rosewood on rosewood. It's just the pictures that make the wood look so dark. That being said, I agree that leather would definitely be the way to go even though the wrap may not clash as much as it appears to in the pictures.
 
If it is indeed brazilian or indian rosewood, then the wrap is good for the cue for sure. Joel has been using some thread left over from Burton Spain on certain cues. If thats the case, I know which I would rather have. Great cue, Jeff.
 
It looks ebony on ebony, at leat that's what I assumed it was. Hercek won't do textured leather. His site say's "you can have any color you want as long as it's smooth black". Even so, a smooth black leather wrap would look nice, and I think fit the overall theme of the cue better. But hey what do I know.

Burton Spain linen or no that cue needs a black leather wrap, possibly with slight red accents. It would look way better. Other then that the cue is pretty awesome, I am guessing that the cards are CNC?
 
Joel's leather wrap feels really smooth and provides a great grip with light pressure. It's the first leather that I have truly loved the feel of.
 
added whole cue shot and tried to bring out the brazilian rosewood.
zack is partially correct - the forearm is rosewood (very dark brazilian rosewood)
the butt and points are ebony
thanks for the compliments!
the rosewood and the linen are both from burton spains stock
i've thought about changing out the wrap! picky! picky!

Sir,
Those inlays would be cnc computer cut. You see te roundness on all of them..Especially the spear tips on the points..

Generally I never respond to any these posts however I get offended when someone acts like they know how I built one of my cues. You seem to know how I did those inlays in that cue. If you understood how a cutter cuts the holes you'd realize that a manual pantograph and a CNC router uses the same cutters. You can get razor sharp inlays with either, if you work the ends of the holes and make your inlays sharp. If a cue calls for sharp inlays then the hole gets worked, if not, as in the case of the Royal flush cue, then the hole stays as cut. To get the fit needed in that cue I decided to fit the inlay with about a two thousands clearance and not make the spade as sharp as I could. BTW, the inlays in that cue were done on my Gorton Pantograph, even the engravings. (which were also hand drawn) Maybe you own Jeff an apology.

Tap Tap Tap, Mr. Hercek.
 
Not using CNC to build that cue is unreal, that thing is a true work of art.
