Here is the quote from Bob on this amazing cue......
Steve,
Twenty years ago in January I sold my first cue to a local player here in south Florida. He still owns and plays with it. Twenty years later and
a few hundred cues later I feel honored to present you with this one of one commemorative pool cue to mark the event.
Birdseye maple, Ebony, Ivory, silver, gold and black pearl were used to create the art work. The techniques used are a result of
successes and failures as I honed my craft over the years. Old school splicing to complex programming and hand knifing of pockets in
this cue are a great representation of the skills I've aquired since beginning. Hope you enjoy the cue and thanks for taking an interest in
my work. It's always a pleasure working with you.

Not much I can add to that, so here it is.
