Correction, the Parris version of this cue would be £1156.52.
This means that by adding £123.48 to the price of the Parris Ultimate version, he could have bought two of these cues from me.

Yes, but I wanted to see what he was seeing from the images posted, which to my eyes (which are not too clever it seems) tell me little.
There is a fractional mis-shape to the tip of that veneer yes, but it's not through any bleeding of any veneer. It is simply due to the fact that there must have been a fractional hollow in the birds eye maple under the veneer, and, through clamping and bonding, the purpleheart veneer has bonded into the nick in the birds eye maple. This then creates the appearance of this mis-shaped veneer tip. It is easily removed, but, not without reducing the butt diameter by a tiny amount, and that was not possible because the diameter had to be kept as it was in order to maintain integrity of specs. A 0.25mm reduction in diameter and it would be gone. The cue is utterly beautiful otherwise.
As for people complaining if it were a Parris cue, well, I'm not sure about that. John Parris does seem to get a lot of stick, and at times, I'd say it's unjustified. However, if we are going to make direct comparisons to a john Parris cue, how about this.....
This same cue would have cost £1135.20 from John Parris, which is a touch over what this one cost the buyer of it. Effectively, it means for another £144.80, the owner of this cue could have bought two of them from me, for the price of one from John Parris. I can assure you that this cue would be more than a match for any Parris Ultimate, even with the tiny mis-shape to the tip of one veneer.Last edited by trevs1; 4 September 2014, 06:37 PM.

Describe what you can see cueman. From these images, it's tricky to see anything much at all to my eyes.
