Let me preface this by ...I am not currently in the market to purchase what I am asking. I'm simply interested in what it might cost from various builders to create a cue like the one I will list. The most beautiful cue I have ever seen is the Showman we have all seen the last few days. http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=125863
Were you to create this cue, not a copy mind you but this style with the same amount of inlays, veneers, and wood choices etc. What would you charge. If you prefer not to disclose it in the forum you can PM me should you feel inclined.
I don't know if this is a bad thing to ask a maker to do. But, again I am not asking what a copy would cost. Simply the effort of doing the work and materials cost for you to create such a stunner. If silver is cheaper than MOP then I would select that instead simply for this exercise.
Again, I ask this because this cue looks to be everything that one could expect a cue to be and it makes me want to rob banks for the cash to purchase such a cue.
If this post is in bad taste please don't reply and allow this thread to fade into obscurity.
Thanks,
Mike
