Wow!! What a load of work in that cue...very nice indeed!!! Hell of a price for a cue with that much work.

Shawn, what is the hit like on your cues? What kind of taper, etc?

Nice cue .But what will you take for the cat?????
 
I wish I could see the photos from work...sounds impressive, especially as I have been able to touch your plainer cues in the past. Looking fwd to seeing pics from home soon!
 
I will give a testimonial to the hit of Shawn's Cues, they hit perfect.

Though, he won't sponsor me, I'll still spread the word. ;)
 
That is an original design idea as far as I know.That is hard to do. I can see a little of the Josey influence in the inlays but the high butterflies and wrappless design is new to me. The overall design is cool and original. Bet it would look pretty sweet in ebony. It might weigh 30 ozs. but who cares as long as it looks good.:D

That is hard to do.

Nice cue.
 
Nice looking cue. I think it is an interesting look of old school meets new school. The butterfly points being the "old" and the "inlays' being the new.............................in any case nice looking cue................good luck
 
Nice job Shawn!

I can also vouch for the solid hit of Shawn's cues. The buyer won't be disappointed. Keep up the great work and I hope to see you soon, Kent
 
I too like the design. I think the idea would also look really good on a nice titlist, assuming you could find one that could be used in such a wrapless technique.
 
Bump for a great cue! I saw this cue in person a few weeks ago and I have to say I was blown away. Shawn is building some great cues and I predict they will only go up in value. I have owned one of his sneakies and the hit is stiff but crisp. I liked it very much Gonna have Shawn build me another real soon! Good luck at the US Open next week Shawn!:D

Very nice, a fan of your work. I have seen some of your things through Drawman (who plays in my pool hall at times) but when I tried to find some more online, could not. Is there a place to see other things you built/are building? A personal stash of pics you can put online?
 
Hey shawn I love the looks of that cue. If i had the money :( I would scoop it up. I hit with your cue before and I like the hit.
