Not sure if this is the right area but will give it a try. Wanted some opinions on a new cue ideea im having mark smith make for me. Abonya burl forearm and butt sleeve with 4 high solid ivory points and two veneers, ivory boxes in the butt sleeve with scrimshaw in all the boxes, ivory joint and buttcap as well, think it will be gorgeous, what do you guys think>
 
I like everything on your idea except for the scrimshaw. Not really a fan of scrimshaw on cue but this is just me...

Please post pics when it is done :)

i was just thinking scrimshaw or something in the ivory boxes just to break them up a bit, they will be similar to the boxes in my cue i have now that is posted in the gallery here! im open to suggestions to set the cue off in the butt sleeve as well, tnx for your input, im also going to try to have mark post updates and pics as it comes along once we finalize the cue!
 
I like scrimshaw and Sandra Brady is the person to use,I have had her work on several for me and the work is always good,she is not cheap but her work is very good and I have found out the hard way that quality is to be preferred to lowest cost and this project of your sounds like a winner,Go with your own opinions

call me if you need her number

thanks for the info dean, is there somewhere i can check out some of her work? ive always loved deep grain abonya and never really see too many cues that have it as the main forearm wood and think the ivory would knock it out! lol!
 
For me it would depend on the scrimshaw itself(what it is).I think it would look nice with some old school diamonds(notched) in the points and boxes,not inlayed just scrimed in.

think im going to go with boxed veneers.......butt only two veneers, dont want to take away from the ivory points, and ill do the same color veneers surrounding the large ivory boxes in the buttcap! might sound weird but was thinking in each of the ivory boxes having a scene from some of the great pool movies,,,,,, hustler and others!

I will 2nd Deans recommendation. Sandy is one of the best in the world and is renown for her work.

Good thing is, she lives in Ohio... right down the road from my in-laws in Monclova which is outside of Toledo.

You should look her up.

Here's a site I know of with her work;
