The last time I was in Southern California I had dinner with a good friend at one of the areas finest restaurants. I noticed their napkin rings and asked the owner if I could buy one. He just gave it to me and asked why I only wanted one. I said because I thought there was a cue design in it.

I have created a cue done in Amboyna burl for the nose and butt sleeve – with desert Ironwood as the handle area. The deco rings are ivory and sterling silver while the Amboyna burl is decorated with box window designs done in veneer bordered ivory (engraved) and overlapping box windows of ebony, silver and Honduran rosewood burls. The joint and butt plate are ivory.
