Murray is in retirement and since I had a hand in that cue I'll say go pick out your own colors, damn copycats!!!!!

Almost retired. I've turned off the phone but I still have at least two years of work to finish. After that who knows what I am going to do.

Hey Jim, what can I say? If you got good taste you're gonna get copied and I believe that cue is a sign of good taste. Not to worry though, I like the colors but would seek to alter the design somewhat or maybe alot. And besides, I live in Texas, never enter tournaments, seems like I hardly even get to play; few would really even see any of my cues. It's all you, man, it's all you.

I never said it was my cue , only that I hand a hand in it's creation and purchase, I did get to see the cue in person this weekend and as Paul said it's awesome. Murray is one hell of a cuemaker and an artist, if and WHEN he decides to come out of the closet (oppps I mean retirement) I will be right at the top of the list. I just feel when people start stealing cue ideas it makes other people not want to share the pics in the first place. I don't agree with that imitation is the sincerest form crap...

Sorry Jimbo, if Murray ever comes back out from retirement, I'll be queueing up all the way from Singapore here.. :D I totally agree with you about people stealing cue ideas.. I'm still quite chuffed from Rambow stealing my ideas for my hoppe design cues..lol ;)
 
Murray, that coco and olivewood cue is one pretty cue.
I can only imagine the nasty dust from those woods. LOL
I'm aging a madagascar rosewood now in hoping I can v-point it with figured olivewood or tulip . I'll prolly have to wear a full-on respirator and body suit when turning it.

I have have a bunch of bois de rose (aka madagascar rosewood). Used it in several cues. Beautifull wood but the dust will stain everything within a mile of your shop. Make sure your dust collector is tuned up.

Use it with light woods and it will keep you on your toes.

Thanks for the tip Murray.
Yeah, this wood bleeds like Rocky Balboa.
Dust collector and a downdraft table will be in service for this one.

Oh great, now someone's going to steal this color scheme. ;-)

Fred <~~~ doesn't have to steal it
 
Fred,

You are one lucky guy. That was my favorite cue on Murrays website before it came down.

The web site is almost ready to come back up. I was making pretty good progress until hurricane #3 decided that my house needed remodeling.
 
Ouch! :eek: I almost feel as if I'm getting pelted with stones for liking a cue and it's colors. More than likely, I'll expand on the ebony, white and turquoise combo that I'm fond of with, possibly, some other colors mixed in. I think enough cuemakers have covered those colors that I'll be safe. :(

Still, that's a damn nice looking cue.
