HOF cue

Ray is great, I have his Gus and boy oh boy is it ever a super great hitting Gus. Man Eric you big time now-I'm so happy for you. As everyone here who can read, knows that Eric is arguably the best "new" cuemaker, "new" meaning less than 10 years.

That raises a great topic for a thread, how long before you accept a cue maker and a master cue builder?, not a ledgend becuase just the name implys a long career. I'm gonna start a thread here not the general forum(I want hardcore cue guys's responses not new McDermott customers.

This is a cue I built for 3-time world champ & BCA hall of famer, Ray Martin. It's Indian rosewood forearm/butt with eight points kam-phi rosewood & eight reverse butterfly scallops kam-phi rosewood. Nice matching rings & phenolic collars. The wrap is matching color gator/lizard textured leather. He wanted "grippy leather" so I initially was going to use ostrich but it was too friggin ugly. I was excited when he called me for a cue, and hopefully I meet his expectations. I'm making him get a picture with the cue for me :grin: The guy is such a gentleman. I hope to meet him personally some day. Just thought i'd share pics with everyone.

Unreal Eric. Truly. What a great lookin' cue. Turning out once nice cue after another...each better than the last. Good stuff my man.
 
Worth a second post. I honestly don't know of anyone whose doing 8-point cues better right now. Your wood selection/combinations are simply wonderful.
 
Balance of Color

Wood combo and wrap are spot on! Great looking cue.
Eric, I gotta agree with gh8st on this!!!
Not only his Avatar Girl is Great Looking, but, your choice of Wrap and the Cue's Wood Combo and Color are perfectly balanced.. Just looking at the cue is aesthetically beautiful...:)
Great Job for a Great Player...
