i've heard of him. i hear nothing but good things. i hardly ever see 'em being sold. from what i understand they're well made cues and known for playing extremely well. i've seen a few merry window styled cues by him for sale here on the forum. they all looked extremely well built
a friend of mine plays with a BEM merry widow and yes it plays extremely well. even being to heavy for me. 21oz has to be. but thats not exact.
What kind of taper does he use on his shafts? conical or more of a pro taper?
he has two shafts and im sorry for the ignorance is conical mean traditional more or less?
it means more cone shaped
then it is more of a pro taper, about 10" or 12" I think one 13mm or so and the others close to 14mm.
Wow 14mm, that's big! i know it's not yours but do you think you could snap some pictures for us?
eww fat chance but ill try. the guys kinda whacked out but is a friend and i will ask. but not sure how to upload photos to forum. could i send them to you by chance if i do get them.
Amazing site!!!

pm Tulipwoodlover. Matt is a Blevins collector and can give you the 411 on all things blevins.
Frank,
Don't know if he's still making cues or not. He was known for making Southwest knock-offs.
True.
Matt has an older Blevins that I used to have that is sweet, at least I think he still has it. 6 point, triple veneers and played like burning hell......of course I traded it.:embarrassed2:
I saw a Rick Howard I just had to have so I traded it but I still miss that Blevins cue.
