Szamboti, Gina, RBlack and others have made some (Breathless Cases). I'm surprised that Someone doesn't make exotic wood cases -with Simonis. How is the new website working out?? I see no mention of the new site?? mark
Wooden case aren't my thing. I am too impatient to work with wood. I like leather that is ready to go now and can be shaped and put together in a hundred ways.
Several of the top cue makers have indeed made some out of this world cue cases to match their high end cues. Ernie, as ever the pioneer, started it in 1965 with the Silver Gina Cue Case.
I don't really think that they did much to innovate though.
Case makers that have innovated in wood are the guy who made the wood box case with a seal on it to completely seal the cavity.
Or the guy who made cases out of stacked pieces of wood cut with a CNC machine.
Or the guy who did thin veneers wrapped around a plastic tube. I have one of those and that's a pretty awesome case in my opinion.
Recently I saw one on here for sale that had the cues suspended in some sort of a spring-loaded holder. The engineering of this wood case was off the charts. I don't have time right now to go get pix and load them up but if anyone knows these cases feel free.
The new forum for sales is in the signature. It's doing ok for being in existence for a week. This is still the best place for pool discussion and probably will be that way forever barring any drastic changes.
