Here is a recently completed cue for a very kind & super patient customer longmao. He gave me free hand on this cue. Originally we were going to do it 100% pupleheart and then dye the rear section black. After doing it the cue just didn't have any POP to it or any real eye appeal...at least to me. Longmao has been such a great customer I wanted to do something a little special for him. I added the alves rear and then added the natural ringwork in the buttcap...the cue really looks much better now. Longmoa I hope you are as proud of the cue as I am & I apologize for the extended delay. Hey at least I got close to Christmas! The cue ships tomorrow. :smile:
