Looking for a cue design

[gunzby]

I've been planning out my next cue since I got my last one and was wondering if anyone could help me with pictures.

I'm on edge with the butt design. It will be a BEM forearm, ebony points, white, light blue, blue and black veneers. The butt I am not sure if I want an ebony butt w/maple veneered windows and checked diamond inlays or (what I am looking for pictures) a BEM butt with ebony windows, w/light blue veneer frames and checked diamond inlays.

I haven't seen any pictures of cues with the second design....it's usually an ebony butt.

Thanks for any help.

I like it better if the butt sleeve is the same wood as the points, it gives the cue the classic full splice look.

Ron Haley explains it this way...

Cues are made of wood... wood comes from trees... trees grow from the trunk out into the limbs.

So goes a cue... the butt sleeve wood grows up through the cue into the points... so whatever wood is in the butt sleeve should also be in the points.

Makes sense to me....
