James J. your cue is done
- Thread starter Bob Owen
- Start date
really nice work. I really like it.
Bob........you hit a grand slam with this cue.........I love the ivory inlays.........I'm excited to see what you came up with for my cue's sleeve design that's turned into a collaborative effort. Your workmanship continues to dazzle and amaze me...........thanks for showing us photos of your cues and it also helps to tame feeling eager and anxious over my cue. When I get to see photos of cues like this one, I just peak with excitement thinking mine might turn out as handsome.
Bob, I still do not any computer/email communications at home. I'll let you know when I have communications again and I borrowed a pal's iPad at the Sat. Pool Tournament to browse Az Forum while killing some time waiting for the tournament to start. I came across this thread and had to post about your great workmanship.
Bob, thanks for being such a perfectionist in your approach to cue-making. I can't wait to see how mine turns out and take all the time you need........even if it means providing you with additional signature dates beyond what I've provided.

Now THAT is a player. Awesome work.
:thumbup:
I got to see and play with this cue tonight.
First of all, it plays incredible--the balance, the hit, the feel--all incredible.
The craftsmanship is beyond compare!!! The beautiful black ebony contrasts so nice with the incredible burl. Every detail of the cue is so spectacular and everything about the cue is impressive.
Forgive my bad for posting this before James, the owner, had a chance to post! But, when I left he was still shooting and I don't think he will put that cue down long enough to post. LOL!!
A complete Masterpiece from Mr. Owen!!!!

WOW, WOW and one more WOW,...
Dear Mister Owen,
What you are presenting us on these few pics isn't only a Shurtz cue anymore. IMO you just made a masterpiece of arts! You really took just the best of the best materials you can use on a cue! Begining by this estunishing grain of that magnific piece of burlwod (Amboyna Burl?) on the forearm and the boxes at the butsleeve. Then all these inlayed and floating fleur de lys ornaments made of E-Ivory adds to that cue that royal touch. Not to forget that deeply black and clear ebony covering the middle of your sharp points. Together with the matching colours of the veners, which you've repeated in the alternating coloured cubes of your ringworks and last but not least, that white and grey and well figured Snake Skin handle! (Phyton? It almost looks, like the snake is still living) Everything is matching, fitting and harmonising together on this cue. Your choice of materials, their coulours and contrasts! The matching joint caps are the just the point on the little i. On this cue there isn't anything at all I would change even if I could! Because it is just perfect like it is!
Like I already said in my title WOW, WOW and one more WOW,...please let me just add 2 last words
BRAVO BOB!
P.S. Please excuse my bad and Swiss influenced english
