We were lucky to meet Mr. Eric Crisp of Sugartree Cues in Vegas during the BCAPL Nationals in the TARPIT. He was with fellow New Mexico cue builder Wes Hunter of Hunter Classic Cues. Both guys were kind enough to take the time to give TAR an interview that will be available soon.

Eric walked up to me with this cue in his hand and said "Here, you guys take this." I was stunned to say the least. We are very greatful to Eric for this very generous donation. He did not ask for anything in return. No ads, no mention on the website, just gave us his personal playing cue because he likes what we do. I have come to realize that cuemakers are a pretty special group.

Thank you Eric from everyone at TAR we really appreciate this. At first Chad and I were going to have a Mexican Flaming Cage of Death match to see who got to keep the cue, but we figured Eric meant for us to use it to improve TAR so reluctantly that is what we will do :D

Here are the pics of the cue. It is a sick peice of Rosewood with a handle that Eric called " Birdseye with bark inclusions" 2 shafts with phenolic joint and butt cap. I am guessing the weight at around 19. Shafts are around 12.8 I am guessing. If someone needs the exact measurements I will get them. This was Eric's personal playing cue and it has been played so there are some very small finish dings that I couldnt really capture in the pics. If you buy it and dont like the cue send it back within 3 days for a full refund.

We will include a TARPIT event tshirt and 2 DVDs of your choice.

Price is $1750 and includes shipping and insurance via Fed Ex Next Day service. Payment is through PAY PAL at merchandise@theactionreport.com.

If you have any questions just post them up or PM me.

The money from this cue will go to purchase a camera lens that I sold when we started TAR. We have been using a kit lens and a $100 cheapo leans for all of our stills and product pics since we started. Thanks to Eric that will change. Here is the new hotness:

That's an awesome silk sheet.....the cue ain't bad either.
I stole the idea from Jack Justis. I fired 8 bucks at Wal Mart on white, brown and black. Not as good as a Snoopy blanket but it will do. Man I dig that Snoopy blanket.
 
Beautiful cue and an exceptionally nice gesture from Mr. Crisp. Good luck with the sale.
 
This, dear Sir, is exactly my cup of tea, that cue is dropdead gorgeous, i would be in the market if i hadn`t bought a brandnew sugartree sneaky just 2 weeks ago.
And hats off to Eric Crisp for being such an outstanding gentleman. You have to walk a long way, before meeting human beings like him.
good luck with the sale and thank you for doing such good work.
Regards, David.

Do you have a layaway plan.
No layaway plan I am afraid.

Your avatar is a trip my friend. Reminds me of some of my bosses at Ford.
 
Raffle

Any chance of setting up a raffle for this cue, and add a copy of the dvd set for the race to 100 Alex vs Shane.

I would like to sell it outright just to save on the time factor. I am getting ready to start cutting the Alex Shane match and when I do that it is going to take all my time for most of a week.

If it doesnt move then maybe we will do something. I think it will sell though.

I should have read the entire description,

"We will include a TARPIT event tshirt and 2 DVDs of your choice. "

It should sell it's a very nice cue. Get going on the Alex Shane match, so I can order a copy.

A raffle for this cue would be really exciting. I think you'd have no trouble selling 20 tickets at $100 a pop.
 
As I've known from the very first pm we shared...Eric once again proves he's a very rare individual. A true gentleman thats helps restore faith that there are still indeed good men left in this crazy world. I can feel your Karma loading up Eric....might be a good time to pop for a lottery ticket.
My best to you sir....and the fine men of TAR.

Me too. The cue could be sold by the weekend for more than the asking price.

Snowmon got $1200 for a Sugartree sneaky pete in a raffle, and those tickets went really fast.
 
Cue is sold pending payment.

Thanks to everyone for looking.

Special thanks to Mr. Eric Crisp for his unbelievably generous donation. We will not forget it.
