Yes sir I do plan on making another one soon! I'm moving shop now so it may take a while to get everything running true again. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks again!
 
3 nicest things that I see in your post, Great looking cue, excellent workmanship and last of all, good photography skills to capture the essence of the cue. Love that burl on the cue.
 
Nice looking cue Al, that amboyna burl is absolutely spectacular--wow!

Hi again.

Thank you so much for the kind words.

Blowfish, shoot me a pm one of these days if you are here in the PI.


Ben did a good job of taking the photos. His gear sure beat the typical point-and-shoot we are so used to.

While he is still working on my site, here is another photo that came out good.

Enjoy!

Those two look beautiful. Amboyna is my favorite wood too, I really like the figuring in your player. Could you let me know what a ballpark price and waiting time for a cue like that would be, pm if you like or post here.

Al, welcome aboard.


Silly question, but what does the material in a cue that beautiful run?


Thanks :)
 
Wah!!! Nice cues!!
And superb photography skill!!

Did you take all these photos yourself??

Hi Dave,

Thank you so much Sir for the kind words and interest in this kind cue.
I send the pm as soon as I've settled the shop.

Hello Mr. Wilson,

Thanks also for the kind words Sir. Woods of this figure are indeed very rare. You may get an idea on how much amboyna slabs cost at Gilmer Wood.

Hi Yeo!

Thank you very much Sir.

The photos were taken by a friend of mine Ruben Tecson. He is also here on the board as "totbenru". He is a cue nut and will go to great lengths to capture the right angle, exposure, etc. to bring out the best in a cue. You may want to pm him for more details on this.

Thanks again Ben (and your dial-up server works great)!
