Thanks

Thanks

PFM it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well Jake,
It looks like you made something no one will want to try to replicate. A three point full splice with bridged veneers and boxes is truely a great engineering and machining feat. This is as unique of a cue as I have seen in the last 40 years. I hope I get up there next weekend to see it. Your creativity is starting to show and geting the notarity you justly deserve. I know this is just the tip of the iceberg of what is to follow in the future. Outstanding work and congratulations!
ps I may have to place an order for something like this.

Not only is it the best 3 point full splice i've seen... it's pretty much THE ONLY 3 point full splice I've seen. these pics really don't come close to showing off this cue properly, it's truly stunning in person.
Truely outstanding
I got to hold this beauty on Sat. I find it so different from any cue I have ever seen in the last 50 years. Its not one with all the little intricate cnc inlay work, frilly schrimshaw, but clean crisp geometric veneer work that interlaces around the three point forearm. The boxes in the butt complement the forearm. Not gaudy, but a well thought out theme and exicuted perfectly. The wood, ivory and veneer colors inhance the overall look of the cue. This is very special cue and probably appreciated mostly by fellow cuemakers who know this was no easy task and will open a new window for cue design.
Got my vote for cue of the year!

Thanks John, i really wish i could pass the cue around so everyone had a chance to hold it. Its tough to realize the real look of it due to the fact that it has 3 points and everything is so spread out.
I was never offended, i actually tend to agree with your statement as i'm a little shocked to say the least. I'm just glad folks appreciate something different.
Congrats to the AZB Cue of the Year!!
Your completely unique design, wonderful choice of woods, and impeccable execution not only got your cue rave reviews in this thread, but barring every vote left going to one cue, you have also earned the AZB Cue of the Year with this masterpiece as well. Seeing just the picture that was shown for the voting purposes, I was underwhelmed. But seeing ALL of the pictures of your cue, and being able to see what went into building it, and the perfect execution, I now see why it has gotten all the votes it has. Congratulations on a stunning cue that someone will treasure for decades to come!

Thank You, but i think its a little pre-mature to conclude as there are some real talents in the contest. I was already thrilled with this thread and its results....you could take away the cue of year thread and i would feel as much a success just from the response here.
3pt full splice, Coco, birdseye and all white is ivory...i know, i need to work on photography skills
while i think this is a very unusual and pretty cue ...........
i dont like that you call it a fullslice ......... now i could be wrong but i dont think this was made the way a traditional fullsplice is made.
its a lovely cue but most dont understand what theyre looking at or how its done and its kinda misleading to use a term that refers to a method 150yrs old or older.
jmo.
your right, it is certainly not constructed the same way. I have used the term loosely but it is spliced none the less.
FWIW, i'll be the first to admit that i've not paid all my dues where cue making is concerned. But when it comes to a 4 point, veneered full splice blank, i have spent countless hours, dollars and blood in getting to a point where i can make a decent one. Ultimately what i'm trying to say is that i respect the term and methodology as much as anyone in the world.
I don't know you, but thats a damn good looking cue. Keep up the good work, and I would love to see some 4 pointers...
