i was hoping this thread would get more support for the cuemakers
that may not be in the category of gus for collectibility
but like webb(mike) and nitti for example that you guys used to like but i dont see alot of support lately??
just a passing fad???
mike and chris dont be offended im just trying to get some responces
i have my own opinion(very positive)
Only about 15 top cuemakers have seen my work.
Ask about the cuemaker, whos been in the hospital for almost 6 months, last name 'kennedy'----
how does his work stack up???
I have been in the carpentry and upholstering and antique restoration business, since i was put to work on a tape-edge machine at the ripe old age of 4 years old. I have been classically trained by a family that has been located in oregon for the last 125 years, in the same location, same building. How many people can claim this!!!
Anyway, only a few know who i am and what i have made, there are a couple of my cues in the smithsonian magazine, along with a select group including a special tutankhmen (sorry for the spelling) special ivory-scrimshawed weston cue!!!
Enough said, i going back to my iv line!!!!
Ps. I am going to get out of here, finally on oct. 17th.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
I PLAY with all my cues, Gus the most !Even the Golden Tascarellas... YOU Asked for the TOP 5 PLAYING CUES and I gave you an HONEST ANSWER . My answer has nothing to do with Collectibility it has to do with the question! Perhaps you asked the wrong question to get the answer you were hoping for! Ron
WoW, 4 pages and no one mentioned Cory Barnhart!!! His work is not only TOP NOTCH, his cues play outstanding. I have owned several of Cory's cues and the remarkable thing is they all played the same reguardless of the woods used. That type of consistancy is incredible. He is an ELITE cuemaker imho.
