The copper looks nice. You don't see copper, in a cue very often.

my opinion

I think the shorter points should be shorter and have ivory inlays at the points in my opinion.

nice job...
I''d go wrapless though for contrast and beauty.

I thought it complemented the woods and I wanted to try something different.

That is a good idea it would balance the look of the cue better.

So if you were to go wrapless what kind of wood would you use?

 

[cyrex]

mmmmmmm ivory

Good call Duke. I think some white in the forearm would compliment all the white that is in the butt and help with some balance. But overall it's a beautiful cue.

I like the way you blocked the bottom of the points and made them 'triangles' instead of just running it into the wrap. Nice unique touch.

good call friend! I think a curly birdseye maple might work well.

Me personally...I like the points the way they are...I just think the butt needs to be less busy. I really love the ringwork though!

Handle

Curly Koa or a nice light shade of Burl similar to a maple burl handle might compliment the copper.

Thanks, that part was a little tricky I had to think for a bit about how I was going to do it.

I think if I were to use an exposed handle I would use the same wood as I used in the center of the points.

CC,
I think it is a great cue like it is (but i agree with some that wrapless would be a little better.)
I like the the way you did the tall points. It really makes it stand out.
Great work.

I usually like my rings a bit thinner, not so thick. Maybe the blocks could be a bit smaller. I like them smaller so they don't detract the attention from the other parts of the cue.

 

[cubswin]

I like it just as it is

It is always nice to hear kind words from other makers
thanks JoN

I like to do my check rings proportionate to the taper of the cue so they get wider as you go down the cue.
