This cue was made by Stroud in the early nineties. He only made two cues ever with solid wood butt caps.This one and another one that was actually one piece of birdseye from the wrap down. I buy different cues from time to time, but I always will be a Josswest guy at heart. I have such respect for Bill Stroud. People that are relatively new to the hobby may not understand what a pioneer he has been over forty years plus of cue making. He is currently making me a cue. It may be the last cue I receive directly from him before he gives it up. (I have owned aprox. 20 of his cues) It's absolutely going to be a masterpiece. Birdseye, ebony, ivory, silver and black mother of pearl. Traditional, but fancy, forearm with extremely fancy fourth axis design in the back. It will be the fanciest cue I have ever owned. The anticipation is killing me. Probably will be another 6 months or so.

Also, thanks to Bill Grassley for always treating me so well. :) :) :)

Thanks, guys. I appreciate it.............

One more thing I wanted to add. Talked to Mr. Stroud, this week, and his new destination for the ICCS show, for this October, will be in Houston. Anybody who has never attended one of these, should go at least one time. The cues displayed there will be beyond belief.

Thanks, Will.............

I will definitely be in Houston. Right now, VF is 50/50. I am keeping my fingers crossed. Will just have to see where my priorities are at that moment.

Me too Jim!!! I can't wait to see your fancy JW when its done. I think I want to see it more than you do :)
 
That is a sweet looking cue and I really like the figures in the forearm and the butt.
Cannot wait to see you post pictures of your new addition.
