Got to see my cue in the works today.:) It had the first coat on it is all so far, but here is the bottom 1/3 of the cue (the butterfly portion). Can't wait to get it and play with it!

It's going to be a wrapless butterly hustler with ebony/curly maple/thuya burl/curly maple butterfly going into the cocobola/cocobola points with the top finished of in curly maple. It will also have ivory diamonds at the base of the points and cocobola/ivory spears at the tips of the points.

I'll update the pics as soon as she's done.

Wish I could see the whole cue but the lower 1/3 is coming along very well. Love the work that I have seen by Pat and I am sure this cue will be a nice looking cue as well.

Thanks for posting...

I'm having him put in a radial pin joint.

I have seen a few somewhat similiar Diveney butterfly hustlers, but like any custom, no 2 will be exactly the same. The thing I really liked about the cocobola wood he was using was that is has a very distinct heavy grain to it with a very distinctive knot on the other side of the butterfly. It definitely adds to it's "character".:D

I'm not having any ringwork done on this one, but I will have it done on my next one I get in a few years.

Looking forward to seeing the finished cue.

Maybe while you are there, you can see my cue in the works...
Ebony 4-pointer with BEM forearm, hoppe ring in the butt with a G10 radial pin.

Man, that's a nice looking cue. What did you go with for shaft diameter, weight of the overall cue and tip?

Are you putting a 314 on this one too?
 
Yes the cocobola has some very intense figure to it. :D The butt weighs in @ 15.5 oz and the Predator shaft is 3.3 oz. Shaft diameter is about 12.8 mm.
