My Josswest dream cue is finally here.

I have to say that this cue is without a doubt the best JW that I have ever seen. I actually stared at the pics for a few mins............lol. Awsome cue.....................also the BE in the forearm is amazing.

Thanks for the comments. In person The cue is even more impressive. When you look at the butt sleeve you wonder how in the world Mr. Stroud could fit all the pieces so perfectly. He said it was a major pain in the a$$.

Man Jimmy, that is a killer cue. Unbelievable is about all I can say.

I will look you up at DCC because I have got to see this cue in person. I am looking forward to seeing Shannon's new JW , it is supposed to be the balls as well. I got first dibs on the JW he is playing with right now.

I am anxious to see Shannon's cue, too. I talked to him earlier in the year and we were both excited about our cues that were in progress.

Be sure and catch up with me at the DCC.

Love the cue Jim. Love the MOP. I bet this cue will turn some heads at the Houston show.

Later,

John
 
keep going back to this cue. What a beauty u have and what a great job by one of the best cuemakers/innovators, Mr. Bill Stoud!
 
Thanks for the compliments.

Below is a picture of Mr. Stroud and myself at the ICCS show with the cue.

My new Josswest cue I have been waiting for arrived yesterday. And it turned out very special. :)

I have always been one of Bill Stroud's biggest fans. His contributions to cuemaking can't be understated.

At the beginning of the year Bill and I started to come up with a design scheme. One of my favorite cues of all time was Dr. Wu's Josswest cue that was featured in the "Hand of the Masters" calendar several years ago. So Bill and used that cue as a starting point and then took this cue to an advanced level. Similar design in the forearm and then an extreme 4th axis design in the back.

Materials we decided upon were ebony, ivory, black mother of pearl and then a ton of silver work. From there we went with an A++++ piece of birdseye in the forearm. 4 ebony points with white, silver, white and black veneers. Four ivory points between tipped with an elegant ivory spear above. Rings of silver, ivory and black mother of pearl. Black monitor lizard wrap.

In the butt sleeve, the starting point was 8 ovals of black MOP surrounded with a thick silver venner. Then tied everything together with ivory and black MOP inlays all wrapped in silver. Fancy joint caps from JW are still in the works.

I will be taking the cue to Houston to the ICCS show and it will be displayed on the Grand Collection table.

Here are pics.

Thanks to Mr. Stroud for everything including his friendship.

Now I can't stand up because of the 'excitement' that I got from seeing this beauty!
 
Hey Jimmy,

Your Bill cue is awesome, as you know I was fortunate enough to see it at the show. Bill really went the extra mile on your cue.

Your pictures are amazing, who took em and with what kind of camera?

Scott

By the way you shoot a real good stick.

Hey, Scott it is cool to get a chance to meet new guys from the forum. Thanks for the compliments.

I actually use a small Olympus camera we got my daughter for her birthday. It is not much bigger than a credit card. 6 mega pixel. I really know nothing about photography. The only thing I have discovered is I take much, much better pictures outside.

Keep in touch,
Jimmy

Thank you.

Everybodies' response has meant a lot to me. I talked to Mr. Stroud this afternoon and told him that I am still getting a lot of great feedback.

Take care,
Jimmy
 
Very nice looking JW. It has all the things in it a guy could want. And it looks classic, not too much in one place. You could take some off and put in on five different cues and they all would look sharp. It's an amazing piece of talent. Thank you for sharing it.poolrod.
 
Well, after seeing this cue I now realize that somewhere a child is crying... because they don't have it ;) What a looker! Congrats on a work of art!
