Here is an African Wenge Hightower Custom cue
with over 750 inlays in the butt. The inlays make
an intricate twelve point Celtic knot work design.
The center piece is a silver Celtic knot design wrapped
around ivory and abalone diamonds, with ivory Celtic ring
work on each end. Then there are twelve ivory Celtic knot
points going out, six in each direction. The points are
surrounded with hundreds of silver inlays. The joint
and butt plate are ivory also.

Here is a link showing more pictures of the cue. If someone knows
how to copy and paste them here in a smaller size feel free to do so.

I really like it Chris. I am sure you have countless hours of work on that cue. Very unique design!

Thanks for all the kind words. I can't take all the credit on this one. I installed the ivory joint, butt plate, ring work, bumper and finish, but my son did the inlay work and hand fit all that silver work. He says that if we get full price on the cue that he will have already made more than me just off his hourly wage. He even added a nice little touch and dotted the "i" in our logo with a gold dot. He melted the gold down from some earrings with a torch to get the right size piece. He just keeps getting more and more impressive with his inlay skills. I on the other hand went the opposite direction this year and built a butterfly cue. It is also on page 17 of the cue gallery on our site. These two cues are at two opposite extremes of design and technology.
 
That is one very nice looking cue...I cant even begin to imagine how many hours and small endmills it took to complete...
