Cue rendering and drawing
I started having cues commissioned and built for me for about 5 years now
and getting the cuemaker to visualize what I want can really be quite a
difficult task.
I will admit I am very picky, when I put up a lot of money to have a cue
built over the course of many years sometimes I want the final product to
be exactly how I envisioned it.
To solve this problem I started drawing cues on paper, scanning the
drawing and then sending it via email. This still was a lot of work and
sometimes difficult to draw some of my ideas accurately enough for the
cue makers to understand. I started using Microsoft paint to draw ring work
and inlay shapes and I quickly expanded to drawing the entire cue!
If you were ever interested in seeing an accurate rendition of your cue
design or even just joint protectors I can easily draw almost anything. It
takes about a day to a week to draw a cue completely.
I charge between $20-$50 depending on how complex the cues design is,
the more complex the cue longer it takes to draw. (Don’t forget I just use
MS paint)
Between $5-$10 if all you want is inlays, rings or joint protectors.
Here are some examples of drawings I have done for AZ members and just
for fun, one cue I ordered for my self and is being made by Kenny Murrell.
