    Vaughn, great work! The inlay on the case looks beautiful. It must have been very difficult to lay out and implement. The brass corners are also a nice touch. I've never seen jatoba wood in a finished piece before, and it really gives the case a rich look and overall tone. The finish is beautiful as well. You mentioned a "few hairline swirls", and I bet no one other than you could ever find them. If they did, just tell them that's how you can tell it wasn't made by a machine ! Beautiful work Vaughn!!!

    Super Duper Nice!!

    I'd be afraid to take it anywhere, as it might get up and walk away, or get bumped and scratched!

    VERY nice job, attention to detail is super!

    Cheers!

    Hey Vaughn~

    Fantastic! Your cue is stylin'. Could be a source of revenue - the guy with the X5 cues certainly will want to be part of the case elite.

    In peace, Todd

    That is one fine piece of work, Vaughn. I really like everything about it. Back in my younger days I fancied myself to be somewhat of pool player but it was only in my imagination. Whenever one of you guys came into the pool hall toting your stick in a fancy box I knew it was time to put my wallet in a safe place. You wouldn't be one of those guys who subsidize their woodworking by sharking hapless rubes like me?

    Beautiful!!!

    P.S. If you are interested in plans for any project that I post, just put some money in an envelope and mail it to me and I will keep it.

    Really nice work Vaughn, The top is gorgeous, you must be proud of that much sot-after gleam. It's worth the effort eh. Don't feel bad as the case only has four corners untill you want to cover them LOL.
    When in doubt, ask a Creeker.

    Dooooooood....!!!! As I had pretty much expected, that's awesome!!!! That really does look wonderful and, even if you may not be a pro pool shooter, your WW looks every bit professional!!! So, in the final analysis, how did you like working with the lacquer??? IMHO, it's worth any extra effort...
    Cheers,

    You should win by defalt with that case. If not blind them with the glare.
    That is too sweet Vaughn.
    Well done.
