I'm looking for a cue maker to make me this cue exactly how it looks in the picture,would like 3 shafts made for it also.1 13mm with ivory ferrule,1 12.8mm with ivory ferrule and 1 12.8mm with a micarta ferrule.for a tip I like the WB tips, black in color.would like the cue to weigh around 19 to 19.3 would be the ideal range.and for the length 57' or possibly 58',and it doesnt have to be as big in the butt as they would have been back then.also want the hoppe ring to be ivory.I believe rambo used a piloted joint on this cue,and I would like it to be piloted aswell.I would like the cue to be a replica of this cue.if you need any info from me please let me know.also please pm me with your price to build the cue and the approx time it will take and any other info you may feel I need.you can also email me at shazam0878@yahoo.com. here is the picture of the cue

full splice would be nice,but its not a necessity,I guess I should have clarified that better.when I said exact replica I was mainly meaning as to its looks on the outside.would like it as close to exact as possibly.

Titleist, Rambo style with a linen wrap?
Brass collar and pin ?
 
Is it just the picture, or is that brass collar a good .08-.10 thinner than the mating black (phenolic) collar?

Are you wanting someone to put the from Willie to Jackie writing on the cue?
 
I do not appreciate my copyrighted photographs being used without permission.

That said I have never refused anyone permission to use one of my photos as long it was not for commercial purposes. For commercial purposes we can strike a deal.

Intellectual property is property of its owner.

Please ask in the future.

I would hope no cuemaker would copy and counterfeit that inscription on another cue (again intellectual property). I owned that cue for a few years and it is now in the possession of a collector who prizes it very highly and would not appreciate it being knocked off.

The phenolic was slightly swollen larger than the than the brass joint. This is typical of many old cues.

Looks like the added lighting effects and/or image cropping on the cue ate up the joints edges.

See above. My cropping is always on the money.

An exact replica would be full splice. If that's important your list of builders is short.

An exact replica would be a Brazilian Rosewood Titlist blank, not sure how many cue makers have one handy. The cue style is made frequently with the exception of the brass joint. I doubt anyone would replicate the personalization exactly as it appears.
 
billiardcue ,I apologize.I just typed in Jackie gleason pool cue on yahoo and this picture came up on yahoo images,again I apologize.

Also Im just looking for someone to make this cue as close as they possibly can.they dont have to use a titlist blank.I am looking for someone to get as close to it as possibly.Ive added my email address aswell if anyone wants to email me directly.

thanks
 
I'm not a cuemaker but would feel confident recommending Travis Nicklich to build this cue . He could do full splice or short splice. The quality would be much sharper than this cue. He wouldn't copy the inscription on the cue . It would have his logo. Just guessing but would cost 1500-2000 depending on material choices and fullsplice or not.
