Hi,

Camatillo and Tulipwood Combo with 4 point / four veneers. Pink Ivory and Snake Juma Rings with Snake Juma Joint, Butt Cap, Inlays and a white double brown spec linen wrap.


Here is a cue that is almost ready to finish that I built as a custom design for Jim Chrisos a Straight Pool Player in the Chicago Area.

Jim picked all of the wood combos, designed the inlay diamond and spear geometry and has spent over two weeks in my shop with some hands on participation while assisting me in the entire building of his personal cue. It's been great fun and he is very excited to be a part of this special in shop project. A true labor of love from a great guy

The Cue Looks really nice. I like the Juma Snake. I had not seen it before.

Chris,

It is available at Atlas Billiards. I visited them last week and they showed it to me. They sell it in 2 square stock sizes that you can use for points, inlays or turn for joints and butt caps.

Jim loved it and included it in his cue design for this custom.

Rick

PS Thanks Bob

Hey Tony,

That Tulipwood is only cool because I got it from a big time wood hoarder who lives in California. Tony the Homemade Rice Pudding and Cue Maker.

BTW, Thanks buddy for the nice piece that has the bookend grain pattern.

When Jim saw it, it was love at first sight.

Rick
