...after she informed me I didn't need another cue!

(Apologies up front for lack of picture quality.)

A few weeks ago, I was eyeballing a custom cue from a local cue builder. Originally I was looking at ordering a 2013 OB wrapless until I saw this one. My loving wife gave me that, all too well known, 'Look of dis-approval'. She later came into contact with Adam (cuemaker) and he pulled her aside to inform her I was looking really hard at one of his cues in case a special occasion was coming up. Behind my back they discussed my Valentine's surprise. I was informed about a week ago though, because my wife wanted me to be the one to choose all the remaining aspects of the cue. The cue had actually been built about 2 years ago and left unfinished. I chose the stain for the handle, the shaft taper, tip, etc. Without further ado...

BTW, I LOVE MY WIFE!!!

After 2 coats of natural stain on the handle...Phenolic inlays, jatoba and tigerwood

I shot a few balls last night before the wet sanding and polishing on the butt, and without the weight bolt. I am anxious to get out this evening and shoot with it. I am more than pleased with how it came out!

Mine told me that I wasn't getting anymore cues...boo.

I turned it around on her and got her a cue for Valentine's Day. She won't really use it, so it'll be like it's mine anyway.

Nice cue OP. Did your wife pick it out and surprise you or did you already know about it and help her with the choice of this one?

I picked it out. She always says how hard it is to surprise me because she never knows what to get. Usually at Xmas, and so forth, I ask her if she has any ideas for me. When she tells me no, I start showing her things that I want and her simple reply is..."You've got a card too, order it!"
