now that you've got the round inlays down, you can get to the sharp pointy inlays...

That is a gorgeous stick! Congratulations!

wow...

 

[arsenius]

Nice job, congratulations! Do you have a pic of the whole cue though? It always irritates me to see only part of a cue at a time, I have no imagination!;-)

Very nice, good luck with your new cue.

And remember, it's not "your" cue until you personalize it with a custom ding somewhere on the butt or the crown.

Painful as it sounds, that's just how it is IMO.

Very well done. How long did it take you to make it? Johnnyt

Very nice simple looking cue. The wood looks really good. The inlay work incorpoarted old school concepts. What's the pin material? How does it hit?
