WOW !

Who did this cue?

I have worked in Arnot's shop ... off and on ... when he needs help. I decided one day to glue up my own long splice. I cut the 2" x 2" BEM on the diagonal, then glued in the two pieces of 1/8" Brazillian Cherry and a single piece of 1/8" BEM. I used slow-cue epoxy, then turned it down and finished it at Arnot's shop.

Thanks for the kind words.

Amazing work, good job!

Donavan, Interesting. You're way up in Minnesota, yet managed to find two of our outstanding Florida cue makers. Kudos to You!

Thanks 8ball,

Not to mention some great pocket chalkers as well. :) The Internet deserves all the credit though. :thumbup:
