well the cue only took around 2 months to build, i had ordered it with different woods in march or feb...dont remember exactly. but after looking at the wood i wanted we both decided to go with amboyna instead so the other cue got scrapped and jim made me this one instead (without charging any extra). it comes with 2 shafts and i chose a wrapless quilted maple handle instead of the leather wrap he offered me. the price is very reasonable so if u are looking to get one made talk to jim. as i understand he's been getting a lot of orders recently so get one now before he starts getting a long waitlist or increase his prices (if he decides to).
