Here is the latest cue that I made for a customer locally here in Lakewood, Washington. The cue has a Birdseye Maple Forearm, and a Birdseye Maple butt. The cue has rings at the joint, above and below the wrap, and above the Butt Cap. The rings are accented with Green, and Blue veneering, along with a Green with a Black Speck Irish Linen wrap. The cues demensions, are 60" long, with a single 13mm extended pro-tapered shaft.

Please let me know what you think, everyones thoughts are important and appreciated, so please have a good night!!!

Craig quit taking pictures of a Bluegrass & swearing you made it!:D
Seriously...very nice. My favorite yet from you.:)
 
Craig, that's a real nice looking cue. Are the green colored rings actual wood veneer? Is your standard butt size a little thin? Looks like about 1.225.

In this cue the veneers are a man made material not wood, and the cue is tapered from .850 at the joint and 1.200 at the butt cap. The cue weights 18.3, and is 60 inches long.

Thanks for the kind words and have a good night!!!
 
Quality woods, quality workmanship, quality individual.

WIN WIN WIN

Sweet looking cue Craig. How much do you get for these? Inquiring minds want to know and so do potential buyers.

For those who don't know, Craig is retired U.S. Army, and his poolhall/cue shop is only a few miles from Ft. Lewis, Washington. He obviously has a soft spot for active duty and "gives back" by taking care of these folks who get cues from him.

Very sharp cue Craig, I hope you signed it:)

Thanks very much for the comments, however the customer wanted the Black with Green speck Irish linen.

Doc, I joined the Army Reserve in January 1977, and I went on active duty in January of 1979. I retired from Ft. Lewis, Washington January 2003 after 23 years active, my last assingment was with 1st Squadron 14th Cavalry Regiment, which was part of the 3rd Brigade 2nd Infantry Division.

This Brigade was the first Brigade Combat Unit to make the transition to a Medium Brigade Combat Team known as the Stryker Brigade.

Have a great day Doc!!!!!!
