Haven't posted any of my cues in a while and just thought I would share this scrimshaw work I did this evening. The inlays are ivory and sterling silver and the customer wanted kokopellis in the cue. I don't do these fancy cues very often but they sure are fun!

What do you guys think?

VERY nice design. However, there is a major difference between scrimshaw and engraving, and what you are showing here is engraving. That does not "devalue" the work in the slightest, but since the art form referred to as "scrimshaw" and the art form referred to as "engraving" are both historically important (art-wise), I think it's important to not blur the distinction.

I agree with you Tom and yes it is of course engraving, I was using the term merely because most people do not associate engraving with cues. In part I think it's about education but since this a forum more for aficionados and cue makers I should have used the description correctly, my apologies.

Thanks for the kind words about the design, it was a collaboration with the customer so I cannot take all the credit..

Cheers,
Mike

I'm a fan of Southwestern art (and have used it in my own work), so it's pretty hard not to like anything Kokopelli, if it's well executed.

Very nice work. Thanks for the pictures.

What does the rest of the cue look like?

TW,
I am still in love with the Kokopelli cue you built for the Santa Fe ICCS in 2009.
One of my favorite cues....ever....! :thumbup: :thumbup:

nice

Mike it looks like you should be making more detailed cues, cause this one looks great.

There are a few photos of the final cue pictured with one of the 3 shafts. I'm happy with the final design, a couple of the design elements will be part of a new signature look I've wanted to have for quite some time. Enjoy.
