Outstanding! The work involved in putting together the main structure of the cue and the artistry of the scrimshaw work is simply amazing. Only a handful of scrimshanders take the time to render the detail in the shadows behind the principal object in a composition as can be viewed in pics2, 4, 5, 6 & 9. This cue really is a stunner and worthy of all the accolades it received at the Bill Stroud Cue Collectors show last year. Bravo!
