Jill Hawk Cue Case

They did an amazing job on this case. I am very glad to have worked with Jill Hawk Cue Cases, and feel proud to own this case even though i commissioned it lol.
Very easy to communicate with them on details, interests and directions for the case. I Gave him a lot of freedom too over the design and he delivered. But seriously, what does the customer know! lol leave the art to the artist.

Below I'm going to add the description from from Jill Hawk.
Keep your eyes on this guy because if this isnt his best work yet, you could see some stuff in the future.

-The Ouroboros-
This case was custom built for a friend of ours who provided some specific framework, but allowed us a lot of range on the design!
The Celtic tooling is our take on the Tree of Life with its twisting roots intertwined around the Ouroboros, or self-consuming serpent. Custom verbiage is displayed in natural windows on long carved chains that run the length of the body.
A more traditional Celtic knot is displayed in natural windows at the lid and shoulder pad. The top cap is wrapped in genuine python, which appears inside as well.
This case is all hand stitched and hand carved of premium Walpier Veg-tan. It features our everyday carry setup with wraparound pockets, internal compartments, the vachetta lined strap, and JB Ultrapad interior In addition, it got a few bells and whistles like suede lined pockets and tray, towel ring, and the stitched top cap.
The detail work of this case really helped push our skills

there really WAS an "ames billiards" in nyc

I seriously doubt it maha...At 16/17 I wasn't nearly as good as I thought I was at the time and , besides, may have been one of the better players in Mike's or Sam's, but it was a good thing I didn't have much cash as I would have surely lost it pretty quickly "uptown".
i was probably in your same age bracket or close to it back then. i didn't play as good as i thought either. but was careful to play the bad players and show money so they wanted to play me. winning in the pool room doesn't correlate with playing well. although it helps somewhat if they don't know it.
those days there were always mailmen, business owners etc. that had been taken by all the good players and wanted a new face or someone that didn't run balls to play with.

World Darts Championship.....................

obviously impressive to be able to make a "9 darter" or even 180p over and over, i for sure can't do it, but the game is so repetitive to me. guy standing there throwing T20, T20, T20.. i feel the same about bowling, it lacks variance and creativity
I've long been a proponent of rando cricket, where the numbers are randomly generated, and if more than 3 normal cricket numbers come up, you redraw.

01 is just a 20 fest and usually the highest % of doubles hit wins. Those doubles sections get awful small on the oche with that much on the line.
