As most of you can relate to, I was anxiously awaiting the Fedex guy, today. My new Schick, directly from Mr. Schick, arrived, today. And it turned out absolutely perfect. A mix of old and new. Major Szamboti flair, with some of Bill's gorgeous scrimshaw work thrown in.
Eight amboyna points into golden oak stained maple. Rusty brown lizard wrap. Lots of Szamboti styled peacocks throughout. Amboyna buttsleeve with four long narrow ovals and neat srimshaw design inside. I love the ivory dots wrapped in silver that Bill does and he included them in a lot of spots on the cue (nice accent) Ivory Hoppe ring with name and date. And then a short amboyana butt cap.
Special thanks to Will Prout (ibuycues) for helping to introduce me to Mr. Schick and help me get the project started.
I included more of my cues from my personal collection in the pics. Hope you enjoy the pictures.
