I want it, what's the rest of the cue going to look like?

I like your Crossbones ring feature. I am sure that will be a signature type of ring that will distinguish your cues from across a room. Those rings could be a very nice thing to amplify your branding.

Can't wait to see the finished cue!

Good job,

I made a ring set to go with this one. 2 Shafts, joint and the A joint. Was 108 total inlays. I am still debating doing a cue or just selling the butt sleeve and ring work.
The thought behind making the parts was to help fund more tooling in the shop. Only problem is I want to keep about everything I make and do a cue with them.
That or stick with the game plan, keep making parts and do cues later. Guess it depends if someone makes an offer on a cue or the butt sleeve.
All I know is I am addicted to the CNC.

Working on a couple different styles of the skull sleeve, I took a couple orders for different color veneers and all the faces will be different.
also just finished up one I have been messing with for a couple weeks.

I have been shooting for some time now with a dufferin that was converted. I actually stopped using it 3 weeks ago, was wondering what to do with it. Great hitting little cue and I started to sell it, but then thought it would be a good back up.
Figured I would go on and add a little to it.
Had already did an ivory ferrule, adding Ivory joint and butt cap. Have the skull with the red eyes and he (like me) will be smoking a cigar, other four skulls are going in the points. adding 40 crossbones around the rings. Doing JPs with the two small skulls inlayed in the top.
Cant wait to get this one done.


Just figured would share this little project.

One thing that drove me nuts was the butterfly was not lined up with the point, replacing the butterfly with them in line and a bit more color.
