hey buddy, that is seriously good looking! the ringwork pops and i like how you're using the colours! great job buddy!
 
Very nice, Jim. No doubt, that will be a great player! A black lizard wrap would be a stunner, in my estimation.
 
Thanks Edd and Jive , appreciate the comments . I've used a lot of leather , now I want to go Linen on a couple . I have a guy looking , not comited , and he leans toward the linen . Thanks again , Jim
 
I think white with green speck would go great and tie in with the green in the rings!
 
Hey Jim,

Very nice cue - clean design nice colors. My vote is for white with green spec linen also.

I think it would look awesome with natural color elephant ear wrap. Great ring work.

Great looking wood, the ringwork goes well with it.

I've seen that wood used for figurines and always thought it looked good but now that I see it on a pool cue it looks fantastic.

Great Job.
 
White with green is a great choice. It works. But my vote goes to white with walnut/brown. I've always loved the subtle flow of solid olivewood and the ring work adds just enough personality to compliment the simplicity of the cue. White with walnut keeps the cue moving without drawing attention to the wrap, which is what I think green specs would do.
 
If linen's the choice I'm going with White with walnut spec like most here. It'll add a classic touch. For modern then I'll just go with full walnut brown linen.

But it's my cue I'm have some kind of textured brown leather on it, default would always been brown EE :)
 
I'm getting a lot of Great ideas , I think I will leave it wrapless , till its sold . Everything I heard so far sounds good . Thanks Jim
