His sig would be imbedded inside the cue too. What a madman.
That's what happens when your cues are copied and sold on Fleabay.

Wow is all I can say for now.
bandido said:First off, I'd like to thank everybody for being patient and knowledgeable about this project and somewhat understanding my passion and approach to this craft/art. Even though there were set parameters fr the specmens, I just couldn't agree and conform to such when the illustrations were sent in. I'm used to one-of art, and being such, Ijust had to recompose the whole cue. As you can see, and mostly the other craftsmen here recognizes, the inlay work became complicated. I've got a hunch that my fellow craftsmen here are interested on seeing the inlay work more than the scrim as they are aware of the work involved in inlaying a piece with a double inside, one in the inlay piece and the other in the cavity, sharp corner into a circle.
An example and sneak preview on the scrim work is attached for you all. This is a panel on Rackn' Zack's and it is of J. Lee. Being an image portraying an individual, this rendition became extremely difficult as it is more than 1:20 reduction from actual thus making it a "micro-scrim portraiture". The difficulty is ten-fold of what you have all seen in "Bandido's Cues" , most if not all are just solid color into sections, as the rendering has to be extremely faithful to the submitted image. Gradient shades HORROR!
Another piece was recomposed to be titled as "Rainbow", a cue done with butterfly splices as the image sent was of a Native American art (Don's). Another is of Dragons and the butt inlay composition are castle towers and knight shield minor inlays titled "Sentry"(AzB's). Peter's was composed to be a metropolis for his nightcrawler, etc....
Thank you very much for not disrupting the artistic flow, I really, really appreciate it after all the fiasco with counterfeiters and name-grabbers that I've been through aside from the cpu and peripheral hardware and software problems that I still am wrestling with. I also apologise for the lack of communication no matter what the contributing factors were/are.
Yikes! I just tried to post the image and I got a window asking me to register! I'll just e-mail the photo to Zack or Joey for posting.
You won't be disappointed. This 60"er is estimated to have a natural final weight of 19.5 ozs. and 18.5" from bumper balance point. I've test played a R7 match with it and the feel transfer to stroking fingers is great but a li'l on the harsh side due to the absence of its leather wrap. I've got a feeling that this will never set foot on your display case.Rackin_Zack said:
