What makes a "good" cue is subjective and relies entirely on what the player wants from it.

I really like the way your ash shafts appear to be plain. One reason I play with maple is because I find the chevrons distracting on ash cues, this seems to be worse on modern cues as makers seem to want to make the chevrons darker and more pronounced. Just a personal opinion but I think I would find it easier playing with an ash cue finished your way.

Amazing work as always!
I have a MW butterfly cut 1 piece classic ebony and maple pool cue which i absolutely love but trying it against similar classic 4 splice cues of a similar spec hasnt yielded any differences in terms of how it plays i can put down to the 2 vs 4 splice design.I will be doing a short review of my 3 cues shortly if anyone is interested.
Thanks Tom
