This butt took forever. I worked on it bit by bit over several months. The original layout used the forearm piece as a middle section with black and white stabilized beech on each end. The idea at that time was that the red inlaid maple would suggest eyes and the green, lizard skin. But the pieces for each end disappointed me every time I looked at them so I waited until a color combination worked better for me, and that happened when I replaced the ends with gold colored beech.

But they weren’t the right thickness to use on each end. One was too skinny. So I shifted the green to the forearm and used the gold as a handle. Once that was in place, it was a matter of testing every color I could find to strike the right balance between, yeah, that works and what the skippy fuck was this guy thinking?

The butt features 16 red diamond inlays and 8 lizards. The lizards are filled with different colored epoxy. I have no idea what the final colors will be, as I filled the lizard shape holes four times each, alternating colors. If any come out all one color on the final cut, I’ll dig out the middle with a Dremel and give it a second color.

I fall in love with each cue I build but just wow boy howdy I fell hard for this one. Cannot wait to see it with a finish.
