I feel be-littled, this is worth about the same as my car:frown:

Unfortunately, our cars are pry depreciating much faster LOL

Thanks to everyone, but extra thanks to Tony of course.

I thought this would be interesting with all the glimpes of it, as it was made. Tony was nice enough to take all the pre finished photos. One day when I was at his shop, they were showing me one of the inlays they were doing on this cue. I couldnt see it without using magnification.

hey

The other very interesting part is how the pics show the inlays on top of inlays. The layers and tiny pieces that make up this whole design is just incredible.

All I can say is WOW!!

Gorgeous cue.
Isn't there another thread out there just like this one?

 

[SCCues]

This is still the most amazing cue i've ever seen. I met Tony at the US Open last October and he's a real nice guy who builds the best cues IMO........

SPEECHLESS

I'll bet it's closer to $30,000.00.

I bet it's not even close - neither in "$", nor in hours that Tony spent building and studying cues in his lifetime.

Anyway, it's such a scarce occassion seeing how a true "monster" (as the new term spreads ) is done it's just great to see a fraction of the stages it took to create this cue.

Steve, although it's not 100% related to this very cue, yet, would you post a few pictures of Tony's shop? It sure would be nice to see the cradle of this masterpiece in the same thread! What do you think..?

Yours,

This is still the cue that lives an everlasting impression on me to date.

One of the 2 most amazingly ornamented cues I've ever seen. Tony melds science & art on a singular level.

Maybe the best inlay work I have ever seen in a cue. And I've seen a bunch. I don't think there are enough words in my limited vocabulary to describe it.

Belongs in the Smithsonian. Unfreakinbelievable.....................

Wow, that thing is amazing. Museum quality work. I've never seen a black boar in person haha. always hoping I'll run across someone who owns one so I can feel how it hits. Amazing, thanks for sharing.

Jimmy, I am with you on this. Every time I look at this cue, I cant even think of anything that describes it either.....

 

[Schlosser Cases]

Love the art work.

 

[Snookered007]

Serious beauty from start to finish. Thanks for sharing.

Very cool, the ring work at the joint is sick. Awesome pictures, thanks Steve.

Lots of work in this cue yet it never looks to be
over the top. Its tasteful, elegant, stunning, and
very hard to top!! Tony is gonna have to work hard to
even think about topping this!

My favorite aspect is the overlapping inlays at the base of
each point! Such a cool effect!

Points, rings, inlays, etc! Its all amazing! And I really
love the red/pink ivory in the butt. Just a little yet just
enough color to make the whole design pop in
a way that makes this cue extremely ornate yet
simply elegant at the same time. Tony has done an
excellent job of raising the bar very, VERY high!
