On the plus side, they give you an opportunity to see my work up close.  Notice the absence of glue lines, particularly on the "braided" cue.  You know glue lines, don't you?  Those thin, dark outlines around your inlays?  That's the glue showing excessive clearance between the inlay & the pocket.  Glue lines will tend to be more visible when two light colored woods are next to each other.  That is one reason why ebony & ivory are so commonly used in cues.  Granted, they DO look very nice together but the contrast also provides a greater margin of error to hide a sloppy fit between the ivory inlay & the ebony cue body.  It even allows some people to use a black epoxy to fill in the gaps.  Sneaky, sneaky :-)
