Sorry, couldn't come up with a decent name for this cue . Remember my post about this Egyptian cartouche for a sleeve inlay?

Well, here are the results... hope you like 'em:
NOTE: refresh this web page if you've seen it before... new pics were added.

Awesome cue. I like the ivory work. It looks similar some of the Mcdaniel cues Ive seen on ebay. I bet it plays a ton

That is a cue to take a lot of pride in owning...really pretty and original in design...love the wrap too by the way

suggestion ...

My thoughts are to name it,
'Bird of the earth' cue, only in
an Indian language for the title.

name?

lord_shar,

Not much more to say but...awesome. Andy showed us your diagrams for this cue while we were visiting him the week before last. What a great looking cue it has turned out to be.

My nomination for name would be the "Szamboti-glyph".

The lizard wrap was a last-minute add-on. After seeing how black glossy lizard skin turned up on a few other cues here, I realized that this cue would probably also benefit from the same wrap. Andy Gilbert does awesome wrap work -- I really had to look hard to locate the seam.

Hi Sean... I have to actually thank you guys at cueaddicts.com for providing the image-base I used to form this cues' initial template. Although it's Szamboti-styled, the cue was actually patterned after a Bill Schick. Unfortunately, that Schick cue was long gone by the time I first saw it, so I decided to have Andy make a personalized version of it -- and what a nice job he did

The first cartouche lists the first 3 letters of my 1st and last name. The second cartouch reads "LDSHAR" - short for lord_shar (had to drop some characters to make it fit).

I THINK IT'S HIS NAME. I BELIEVE HE MENTIONED THAT IN A THREAD AWHILE AGO WHEN HE SHARED THE DESIGN

i Think It's His Name. I Believe He Mentioned That In A Thread Awhile Ago When He Shared The Design

Sorry, Guess We Were Typing At The Same Time.

Hehe, I'm not aware of any other cue personallized with an Egyptian cartouche. I'm hoping that this is a 1st...

Very nice, cue but do you know what they mean?
