With the inlays being that crooked and sloppy, if this is done by a known guy, it would have to have been a very early attempt. The silver bars are crooked and the inlays aren't symmetric. Cue is pretty sloppy. Not a Kikel either. He used a 5/16x18 flat face joint on his very early cues and went to a 5/16x14 joint. I think this is his standard joint but has used a radial upon request. At least, this is what he told me when I was discussing an older cue of his with him.
