:: ZEN Cues @ 2014 China Custom Cue Show ::

[Jive]

I decided to post this separately from the Cue Forum Thread as it would be easier for people to refer to in future.

Hardly get a chance to take so many photos of Zen Cues together as they're always sold...this time Zen had to borrow some cues from buyers to bring to show as there wasn't enough for his show and tell.

Fortunately he was able to borrow the 2013 ICCS Cue for me to take some photos of.

Apologise for the mediocre photos, as everybody wanted to check them cues out and i didn't have all the time in the world to fine the perfect angle...

*Drum Rolls......*

Now for the ICCS Cue....Dragon in the Clouds...

This cue shows a Dragon flying through the clouds where the cloud is the handle and everything is done using different kinds of woods.

The dragon body which is done using Amboyna Burl is a Single Piece of Inlay, no break lines at all and it runs around the cue.

This cue is simply breathtaking...

Here's an old video Zen took for me as this cue can only be appreciated as a whole when it's rotating.

Hey Jive thanks for showing! Looks like you had some fun too.
Azen & his wife are making some beautiful cues.

 

[MediocrityNC]

He and his wife make some of the most beautiful ringwork and inlays out there! And they are 2 of the nicest and most humble people I've met in this industry.

I bought a cue from Azen at the ICCS last year, and it was the best cue buying decision I've made to date!:thumbup:

Gorgeous cues!

 

[JB Cases]

And in case anyone is wondering...all that silver is inlaid by hand with a jeweler's magnifying glass, a pair of pliers, a small hammer, steady hands and a ton of patience.

 

[pocket]

Gorgeous. What do they run price wise?

Now for the ICCS Cue....Dragon in the Clouds...

I don't think the English language has the words to adequately express the beauty of that cue.

Would love to read a review on his cues playability.

My guess is Yew.

That's Silkwood. It's China's treasured wood, rare and expensive.

I just did a search and it seems to be called Phoebe as well.
