Here are pictures (I know the picture quality sucks)of what I received this morning. This is the last Cochran I will get from one of the best Cue builders out there.It is not complete and will stay that way.

Sorry for this question, but why the Hell do not say to Tim have it make to finish, i think it will not make sence if Tim will touch this Cue. Maybe I'm wrong, but hope not, this Cue is super nice:thumbup2:

This cue shows what a great talent we lost in the cue world. What a beautiful and creative example of Mike's ability.
 
It really is a tragic loss to pool, to the cue world, but most importantly to Mike's family and friends. I've seen a lot of Cochran cues and was never a die hard fan but I really must say, this cue looksl ike it was going to be absolutely gorgeous!

I appreciate your desire to leave the cue unfinished. Then again, I'm sure Mike would have wanted to Tim to make his loving customer very happy by finishing this one.

I have a few of Mikes cues that I play with, so I wish to keep it the way Mike left it.Mike was a great friend.

The inlays are incredable!

Mr. Mike's inlay work is something to behold. His floating veneers just amaze.

A few weeks I ago received the last Cochrans to leave Tims shop, there was another unfinished cue in the mix.

Mike and Tim were the best. Thanks for sharing. The Scruggs Cochran cue that Ron Haley finished was the last Scruggs cue that Mike had built under the commission of Dean Campbell. It is with Dennis Searing getting two more shafts and joint protectors. Has letter from Ron Haley.

MC Cues - Magnificant Creations

I was so touched to see these photos posted by Eric. I was honored to view every MC cue that was being created since the inlay work was done at our home. I was always amazed at the creativity of my wonderful husband and how much of himself he put into each cue. These are the last genuine MC cues to leave the shop that were being worked on and I am so happy that they are being cherished by a special person. I have talked to several people who have MC cues and I get the same feeling of admiration, respect and friendship that I know Mike felt.

The most special cue, and Mike's pride and joy is the Fighting Irish Cue. I look at that cue constantly and picture Mike in his favorite Notre Dame sweatshirt with the Fighting Irish logo. Sorry guys - that is one cue that will always be kept in the Cochran family.

Thanks again Eric for sharing........Connie
 
Done

I just received photo's from Donnie over at BlackBoar,I can't wait to see them in person.
I originally said I would not have them finished but was told to protect the wood they would have to be sealed so Tony and Donnie said they would do it.

Eric, these cues are treasures and i feel that they are in the hands of a gracious and generous man.Tony was also a very close friend of Mike's and his hand on these cues only confirms that. Congradulations and best regards.
