please enjoy and take it easy on me,they are my first.the first two are full splice blanks i bought and converted and the rest are:African Blackwood(musical grade/with burl) and Bois De Rose handle,buckhorn joint and butt cap,African Olivewood with Elepahant ear wrap(not yet though) and ivory joint and butt cap,orange-red Cocobolo with Quilted Maple handle,some of the woods don't look great without the finish.they Quilted Maple totally changes when wet and the Blackwood,basically all of them will look much better and more colorful when the finish is applied.thanks.

wow...

Looks like you have learned very well, from Alex Brick correct? Good lucking cues Mason. Keep up the good work!
 
Looking good..

Very good first showing. I really like the wood choices and ringwork (especially the bottom cue)! These should look terrific once completed.
 
thank you guys,yes Alex has been guiding me every step of the way,which saved me 100 times.it is very easy to make a mistake that can't be recovered from.
 
Hi Mason,
Beautiful first batch of cues you made and really good choice of wood combination. Did you use your own taper or Alex? What the prices on these?

Regards,
Duc.
 
Nice ...

I have a part time cue maker out of FL making me a tulipwood, ebony full splice cue ... not sure if it's your filter but Boise De Rose looks more redish/purpleheart-is in the photo. I assume the coloring will change with finish anyway.

Did u make the rings too??

Like the ringwork on them. Look forward to trying one out. Ebony/purpleheart looks nice, like the color combo and with a bit of finish I imagine the purpleheart will look even better.

Really like that bottom cue....going to have to order one of those I do believe.

than you,i use Alex's taper and Alex uses SW's taper.the prices were $325 for sneakies and $400 for the Coco and Blackwood and $600 for the Olive with ivory and Elephant ear.

Cubs,that Purpleheart/Ebony is all you unless you want to change to the Coco,but let em know soon.the white rings are ivory.

Coco

I really like the bottom cue (coco and Maple), can you please send me a picture of it once it is finished?:)
 
Sneakies

That Tulipwood and Ebony is really nice. OK, all of them are but that one really stands out to me. Gonna look super nice when it gets a coat of clear on it.
 
Sharp cues. I really like the olivewood one. It looks like you do great work... I may have to order a cue from you one of these days.:)

Clean looking work and nicely figured woods Mason. Have fun with the wet sanding/ polishing/ finishing!
