A different kind of beverage in the background, and different mass-produced timepiece
. But it’s a relaxing Sunday nonetheless ...
Great to see you enjoying your Sunday, Cpt!
Switched to the Bond to enjoy some Buffalo wings before the Sunday commute to work: ...
Good to see you enjoying your Bond Seamaster …
I hope you have a successful week ahead.
Looks like you enjoyed a great Sunday dear Captain!!
Cheers my dear friend!! Abel ...
Visited cue maker Bob Sunday, pleased to see progress . . .
. . . on the break cue he's making for yours truly. Solid purpleheart handle with red palm forearm and butt; the shaft will be made from granadillo, a South American hardwood, contrary to the notation on the build sheet. On my wrist? The great-grandfather...
The red palm forearm and butt are 'floating' on a single solid purpleheart timber . . .
. . . so the purpleheart handle is in actuality a visible part of the core. This type of construction is especially suited for break cues, as the whole section is really just one piece of purpleheart wood without any breaks in it. Most of the playing cues...
Wonderful cue dear Art! The purple wood is stunning!! Is it the purple heart? I have seen granadillo in some knife handles but it is reddish color.
Will make a great companion to your vintage Seamaster. Cheers, Abel
You're right about granadillo, Abel - it is reddish in color . . .
. . . and I'll take a photo of the shaft next time. The cue is made from one piece of purpleheart wood, usually sourced in Guyana. The red palm forearm and butt are hollow sleeves slid into position on either side of the handle. Art
Thank you dear Art. It will be a stunning piece when finished.
Look forward to view it soon!! I wish you’ll enjoy it so much! Best, Abel
