All the exterior sewing is done by hand. It’s hand dyed with soft glove leather inside. This one is a 2x4 and priced at $2500. I intend to make more of them as we go on.

This is only reminiscent of the old violin cue cases back in the 50’s & 60’s only in that it opens the same way.
Thereafter this case departs from anything made. It is incredibly sturdy looking, and at the same time, elegant.
The leather looks handsome, plush, stitched beautifully & crafted like it should carry something of importance.
It appears to be so well made in this design style that anything more than a 2x4 case could be like luggage.

What is the base construction materials?
In other words, wood, CF etc. It appears to have two layers for butts and shafts.
I used to have one of the original Palmer cases that were essentially a piece of quality luggage. I don't think it was real leather though.
I’m planning a 1x2
It’s made with high grade plywood. That’s true. The butts are underneath and the shafts are on a table on hinges that lifts up.
Those look great.
Are you still making regular cases? I guess I thought you were long since retired from serious health issues that you had posted about years ago. I just put a new case order in a couple of months ago and never saw anything where you were still in business.
Thanks.
I will make cases now. I’m fairly healthy now. They would just take 3-6 months. I don’t have reference photos to show now so you would have to know what you want.
Ok, thanks. Good to hear you are back.
There probably isn’t any, but I like making these and I can’t work for nothing. It’s possible that someone who can spend $5,000 on a cue can afford my case. Believe me, I know pool players are not big spenders, but that doesn’t change the value for of this case.
Mine too. It’s the old story that the shoe maker can’t afford his shoes. But there are a lot of people with money. Maybe I’ll find a few. If not, I’ll be happy doing what I like to do.
Thanks. Probably a 3x6 would add a few inches to the width but that may be as far as you would want to go, but who knows.
A 1x1 would probably have to be very flat and thin.
This case is a huge improvement over an old design. The right person will buy this case.

What is the approximate weight of the case?
I haven’t actually weighed it yet, but it is about the same weight as the tube cases.
