New pics of a old cue something called Black Boar

Exactly Steve was a good friend. I miss him, he was such a nice person and loved cues.
Tony built 4 like this one-each a bit different. This was the last one of this design. Steve’s was the first, this one was the most ornate. After this cue Tony went on to build a few more cues with more inlays. Tony didn’t like the idea that 4 “big” cues were similar and wanted the big ones to be unique. That never bothered me.
The inlays in the the shafts and collars was my idea for this cue, not an original idea of course but I thought it would balance out the cue-what ever that means. I really need to find the joint protectors.
I went the his shop 3 times during the build.
I’ll dig around for more pics. I own 2 other boars. My player and one other. This cue I’ve never hit a ball with.

Exquisite work, attention to detail is second to none.
I recognized the similarities immediately. Great cue and story Eric. It's really much more than a special pool cue; it is inlay art at a high level.Exactly Steve was a good friend. I miss him, he was such a nice person and loved cues.

I understand what Tony feels about not building to many cues of similar designs. The artist in him wants to move on to new things. That is what makes him and guys like him so special..
Hope you locate the JP's soon, I assume Tony made them as well.. Best to find them sooner than later, at my age later might be risky! LOL.....
the amount of work into that cuePracticeChampion

I've yet to see a BB that wasnt top notch beautiful, never hit with one but assume they play great too
So is this Safe Queen? Or new Player?
Beautiful Cue
Thx. I’m super lucky to have it
I remeber your Player well when you was here and let me shoot while you played my Haley. Give me that Monster here ;-)Exactly Steve was a good friend. I miss him, he was such a nice person and loved cues.
