Whitten 3x1. back to basics

[dchan320]

It was odd having a cue with three shafts in a 1x2 case with its' third shaft in a different case. I've seen a lot of really REALLY nice tooled cases here in the gallery and was thinking about what to do (i.e., tooling, design, pockets, etc...) to keep this cue all together in a 2x4. Maybe a little theme in the design? Well, it got complicated quick... so here's what I ended up going with...

It's simple, nothing fancy, but does the job perfectly (for me). Thanks Joe!

To me, that is the definition of understated elegance. I happen to own a 3x6 Whitten in smooth black leather. I am a big fan of his work. My only complaint is you teased us with a peak at What's In the case. How about a full reveal on ALL of your cues. I'm guessing that is the post that we all should be commenting on. Just Sayin'

Thanks everyone for the compliments.

Mark - check back with me in a couple of years after I send it back for a refinish and adding a few small inlays.

Nice case, thanks for sharing!

Did you have to specially request the old style Whitten name tag?

It's too bad that beautiful setup only ever sees the back of a closet.

I didn't request a specific name tag style. Just gave the order for a 3x1, black, white stitching, no extras. Just needed to make sure from bumper to joint cap is under 31".

Mostly sees. Show and tell Wednesday afternoons.
