I just received this cue from Ernie yesterday. This is no doubt the nicest cue I have ever been lucky enough to own. All gaboon ebony, silver, ivory and silver ebony. The white veneers in this cue are even ivory.
This handle is very hard to explain and photograph. It is impossible for me take pictures and do it justice. Ernie took hundreds of pieces of silver ebony (something I have never heard of) and laminated them into multiple lines that form what I would call a herringbone design. Like I said you would just have to see it in person to understand.
I also love how he took his big block silver and ivory rings and added more lines of ivory.
I am very lucky to be able work with Ernie, establish a friendship and have him create something to this caliber.
Here are more pictures I just received from Ernie showing the detail in the handle a little better. Still not nearly as nice as in real life. :smile:
