thinking of having a cue built like this, sample pictures request?

[sbrownn]

Hi everyone. I love the 6 point basic SW style cues. Attached is one of them that I have with highly figured curly maple and ebony points with natural and black veneers plus ebony and maple butt windows. I am thinking of having one built with very similar design, style and points but it would be:

• thuya burl forearm
• thuya burl large butt window (same size as ebony butt window)
• ebony small butt window (same size as maple butt window)
• same style ebony points with natural and black veneers (would the natural veeners in the points and rings look good with the thuya burl or should I go a different one?)
• black joint, similar rings (style and locations) and butt cap similar to one shown
• firm black pebble wrap
• old growth non-LD maple shafts, 3/8x10 modified joint

I am finding very few sample images like the above spec'ed cue after multiple searches. Do people have some like this in their galleries that they can share so I can get a good and sound final prototype image representation to see if if it is indeed the cue I want to order.

TIA,

Scott

This is the closest I've found but the point styles are different (still 6, high / low) and the burl is maple, not thuya and the wrap is white / black linen. I think I like only 1 wood window in the butt now (all burl). Interesting point design in this cue.

Natural then black veneers look good but if you added another natural on the outside it would stand out more. Thuya could mask the outer black some.
Black and natural ring work would look very good. Outlined with natural and black.

They go with Ebony. Everything goes with Ebony. Lol
But will they go with Thuya?
