three cues in process for same person - Billiards-Talk Forums

BHQ · December 7th, 2006, 08:51 PM

all three cues are going to little girl i know, Christy,
i say little, because she was only 15 when she,
her brother & father started coming into the poolhall i was working at part-time
after i was hurt on my real job(plumber) .
nice family, by the way

now, she's all grown up, about to turn 21
and has a great job.
the first cue is for her, to be finished after xmas.
the other two are for her little brother & father for christmas*
* providing brent gets his ass off the computer
& gets them finished

more pics of these cues can be seen at

birdseye handle with purpleheart buttsleeve & forearm
accented with purpleheart & maple rings

her dads cue is my first pointed cue. the forearm was given to me by cuemaker murray tucker along with three more prather fronts.
rosewood butt, birdseye handle into ebony & maple front accented with white phenolic & silver rings

her brothers cue is olivewood handle into birdseye forearm .
butt sleeve is also birdseye capped with piece of olivewood.
notice how the grain in buttcap matches the handle & the grain in olivewood rings match handle

thanks chris. since this was my first pointed cue, i did have a little difficulty getting the pooints even. they still aren't, but close enuff for this buyer. she doesn't carea about that. a learning process. i know where my mistake was. i have three more forearms that murray gave me to use.

I have a bunch of ideas for custom cues. Maybe you could build one for me.

My local custom cue maker has a 7 year waiting list.

how's 7 months sound????

since i am not totally happy with the way the points turned out, and the fact that she is buying three cues, all played into the price of $200 for this one. the olivewood cue was $200.

the purpleheart cue is $250
all have or will have one shaft with lepro tips

i showed this cue off at the derby this weekend
got some very nice compliments
i'm very pleased with this cue
helps make up for the ones i haven't been so pleased with,
and there has been a few
my buddy, dennis dieckman had some nice praise for me on this cue in his own little way that he does
you know, ribbing me a little ,
saying "there's hope for me afterall" and stuff like that
i also was talking with a cuedealer about refinish work
on some of his cues
he asked to see an example of my work
showed him this cue, he held it up to the light to look for ripples
he didn't find any by the way
i won't say who the maker of the two cues was he compared mine to, but, that particular cuemaker gets 5 times what i charge for a cue
it's all in the name i guess

BHQ · January 18th, 2007, 11:21 AM

i took a few pics of Christy with her new cue
i didn't use the flash because it was a tournament at michaels
she loves it (she says)
