i have had the design of this cue in my head for years and years. A couple of years ago i new i could afford to pay the cue maker of my choice to build it for me. I really dont care what the inly material he used because he knows better than i do. I can not answer the question of what the inlay material is but boy dosent it look good.

Almost 100% of the time I build what the customer wants like Tommy stated what he wanted....and I will continue building what they want until my cue building days are over.....

This material was given to me years ago bye mr. Scruggs only thing I know it's a linen phenolic.

Leon,

I'm known to not be much of a fan of brown wood cues and I'm strictly a ebony points/sleeve
type fan. There's only been 2 cues I would have bought that used brown wood for the points
& sleeves....well, change that count to 3 now. I cannot imagine how striking this cue woulda
looked if it used the special Gaboon Ebony I've seen you use in some cues over the years.

Leon, this is an absolutely stunning cue. I love the colors, the inlays, and that it is a fairly light cue. It absolutely pops, and is truly original. The world desperately needs more light, bright and colorful cues. (Still hope to get one with that Amboyna one day)

Matt, your comments above point out why we need exceptional cue makers like Leon.

I probably look at every cue in the for sale section. Maybe 1 in 20 I like and maybe 1 in 500 bring me to comment. I may be in the minority but I am not a fan of ebony at all. In fact, my least favorite cues are ebony/ivory cues or cues that have solid stretches of ebony, Anything more that points and butt piece and I am not going to like it,

But I love brown woods, All of them. I love the variety of colors, I love the variations in grain and pattern. I adore burls. All my cues are brown woods. My opinion is that this cue would have no where near the impact if it was done in ebony. The brown woods are what really let the colors pop. But just an opinion.

But this is one of my favorite cues I have seen here ever.

Leon, cant thank you enough for sharing.
