The BIRTH of my NEW CUE!!!
Ok, as some of you know, I am getting a new cue made by one of the ASP/RSB posters, Sheldon Lebow. Since he has a digital camera, I asked if he could keep me updated on the progress of my new baby. So, here we go. I figured it would be fun (for you and me) to see how the cue turns from nothing to something! This is not a site, but rather, a small page filled with pics. As the progress of the cue moves along, I will continue to add the pics Sheldon sends me. You are not enjoying this as much as I am!!
(NOTE: If you are a return visitor, then you will notice a difference - I made the pics smaller to take up less space, and so they will download faster.)
(ps- this is a REALLY bad design job on my part, but I just want something to throw pics on)
Here were the specs I gave Sheldon:
