I'm wanting a new cue. Looking for someone to build me one. I'm wanting curly maple 4 ebony points linen wrap 4 ebony windows and a total of 8 inlays. But will be 2 each of four different ones. I want the joint collars to have either a ring or stitch in them . I want one shaft that the builder makes but I also have 2 other shafts that I want to have the same joint collars and to fit the cue. I want 3/8x10 joint pin. I'm looking for a newish cue builder that is trying to get his name out. But I'm not opposed to a builder that already has his name out. Thanks in advance.

Have you looked at Bob Owens website?
He answers phone, and email. He has great reputation.

Man you are asking for an expensive cue and maybe you can expect to wait a year for it to be made . For all those details , you will want an established cuemaker, and like i said you will be waiting a long time for completion. Nice custom cues aren't made over night. You would be better off to look at cues already made , then have your rings transferred, just my 2 cents
Guy might be upset if he wanted a Southwest, finding out wait was years.
Sure some people have died waking for their turn to come.
Pick up the phone, call a cue maker and talk to them…
That‘s all there is to it.
That‘s all there is to it.
If they don’t answer phone, or return call if you leave message, they must be booked for years.
Find someone interested in project.
That's what I'm doing here . Finding someone who wants to do it. But I'm 45 years old. Had some nice playing cues and still do have most of them. I don't have to have one built. But if I have to wait 5 years or more it will be ok. You can't miss something you've never had. What difference is it on how long I wait for something yall act it's your money and your cue

I get it. Good luck with your search, if you’re comfy with the $$ and a 1-2 yr wait, should be able to get whatever you want.
If I had your current “wants”, I’d be looking for a big pin Joss West, there are several lovely ones floating around for sale last 6 mo or so…

Never tell a cue builder you're willing to wait 5 years. Once the one year mark goes by the chances of you ever seeing it diminish to almost zero.

If I was a cue builder that line right there would make me pass on building the cue.
I smell attitude and trouble.
Wrong! You say that now, but after giving a deposit 5 years is a lifetime. No way you should wait that long.
What is your budget? 1500 or less Joss, Jacoby, Pechauer, has the wood on hand.
Custom cue makers there are so many solid names when spending 1500+
Also you can show up at a SBE and find anything.
My opinion
Well don't build the cue. I do have a attitude. A attitude of I don't have to have it. It's not going to make me or break me. Most people on here seem to know more about what a person wants than the person himself. I don't care about the wait. They think what I'm asking for is extremely difficult and expensive. There are more elaborate production cues for sale than a simple cue of 4 points 4 windows 8 inlays a Irish linen wrap.

if you strike out or dont want to wait a ridiculous amount of time, as the poster above sad, I recommend pechauer, or OB cues. I have recently had a cue made by each. Both take roughly two months. I wanted a specific wood, and OB ordered it in for me. After experience with both, If I had to pick one of the two, i'd say OB. Their customer service was much better than pechauer. Both made in usa.
I was wanting to try someone who really doesn't have a strong name out there yet. But that does good work.
Good luck with your journey
