I bought the cue in the mid 90's? Maybe? It had been for sale in a billiard store in Burlington for who knows how long, when I found it. I discovered later that Danny and Rhonda only lived a few miles from me. When I started visiting his shop, he had someone who came in and helped occasionally, but he was mostly doing everything by himself, and using CNC. He remembered the cue, but I never thought to ask when he had made it.
