Leon Sly design in the works

[poolrod]

The Honduran Rosewood Burl will look great on this Hoppe. The real pics will be a lot better. It will be #3 for the forearm. Veneer colors are perfect.

New ring design.

This will be a very nice cue imo, that burl is "sick".
I prefer just to use autumn colors, no black in it. It compliments the wood so nice imo.

Please share the progress.

I would do away with the ring below the wrap . or make it the same as the one above the wrap. JMO

Poolrod,

I agree with Lenoxmjs. Ring on either side of the wrap matching is the way I would go also.

But it is your design and you must trust your own instinct. There is no right or wrong.

First off, I have to say that this cue is going to be awesome with the burl Mr. Sly just posted. That said, I agree that the rings flanking the wrap should really be the same. I think the diamonds and dots flanking the wrap and then some solid ivory rings at A&B will tie in the Hoppe ring nicely.

<--- not good at ring design

 

[poolrod]

I made the trim rings bigger for design, they will be standard size, the ring above the wrap will be unique. Everything will tie in nicely I think. Thank you guys.

I think that sounds real nice, will compliment the colors chosen perfect:smile:!

personally I would like brown phenolic, brownish (some that fits) leather wrap and the outside veneer color to match the burl wood - but that´s just me.

In either way it will be one nice looking cue imo.

I haven´t seen any of your cues upfront Leon but they sure look great on here imo!

Best of build

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, yeahhhhhhhhhhhh, I like it, Leon.:thumbup:

Rod, here's a few pieces of BEM i pulled out from over 40 pieces i numbered them 1-5 i think # 3 would look great with the hrb # 3 is quilted heart wood bem another wood that is hard to come by, the veneer color would be from inside out natural-golden antigue canary-t-mahogany-black.

 

[poolrod]

My wife says door number three. That will look great. Thank you, the veneers are great also.

 

[Chrippa]

We will keep the progress rolling in here, it will be an incredible cue. Well worth the wait. I'm a very patient man.:thumbup:

 

[poolrod]

Leon, you must be slammed with cue orders, your pm box is full,lol. Is this what you meant by outlined inlays?. Notched diamond though, not the fancy cross.

 

[poolrod]

I did some trim ring work, is this better?. :thumbup: The design will be Notched diamond, dot dot on the butt sleeve, so I matched it in the trim rings.

 

[leon sly]

Rod, that's what i'm talking about:wink:

Man that's going to look BEAUTIFUL.

I knew Leon would get a long waiting list, wish I would have jumped on having a custom sneaky made last year when it was just a month..
