Not that there is anything bad, wrong, or lacking in the work you are presently producing, but, have you thought of producing "Hoppe" type cues -- 4 points, 3 or 4 veneers?

Also we are making Split 3x models. Each of 3 parts may have an individual splices geometry. It will lead to many interesting combinations for sure

I've started replying messages, but thought you all be interested in this information.

Hello,
Happy to see your message! Glad you care how it's going here. I'm fine, family safe, part of the crew fights, part went abroad, part working in a different projects. Anyway the basis is still into Pool cues business. We have shifted a view on the production process and it has become much more efficient in the current situation.
I haven't made any official announce yet, but here is sneak peek on our plans for this Autumn:


It is a collection called Patriot. It consists of 24 different models that are all existing combinations of 3 colors - Hornbeam black, yellow, blue assembled in a 24 different ways in Splices geometry called Tulip 2p.
For this model we'll make the best possible cost:

$150 for a blank.
$250 cue butt.
$275 cue with a plain white shaft.
$300 cue with a plain black shaft.
$400 cue with a white spliced shaft.
$450 cue with a black spliced shaft.
$50 delivery

You can request Any other wood species combinations in this model Tulip 2p. and feel free to assemble it in any of these 24 combinations from the collection. Price for such a cue will also be attractive, but it may cost some extras, depending on chosen wood. For example a square blank of Bocote is $60-100, depending on model we can use 1 or 2 such a squares for a cue. Hornbeam won't influence the cost, we have some other colors of it. I'm planning to update all information on the website and then make an announce

Also I'm thinking of selling a drawing for cuemakers about what pieces a square blank need to be cut and how it should be assembled to get the desired model. Just scheme, no processing information or tools tricks. It will cost $500.

So as soon as I upload some other models to the website, we are ready to start. Now you can scroll the website and lay eye on some cue or an idea of a not existing yet fullsplice combination.

It's my turn to trust, so no pre-payments needed. Just your real intention of having the item. Before start we'll confirm everything. Before shipping you'll pay.

Processing will be fast. We are planning to be able handling 500 cues in a month.
Parameters of a blank and a cue will be fixed. Custom parameters, accessories, engravings, inlays are possible, but will cost extras.

Blank parameters:
diameters 34\24mm, length 80-80cm.

Cue parameters:
length 30\30, weight 19oz, joint diameter 0.845, butt 30mm, tip 11-12mm, pro taper, ferrule, radial joint.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Have a good day,
Anton

Beautiful. I wish I had the math education needed to comprehend the designs in your work.

Align and connect wood parts physically requires some special tools and skills, true. But understanding butterflies symmetry is way simplier. No special education needed. Once you see it, it's never be unseen.
I'm seeking for people who have interest in fullsplice cues to unite, cooperate, create, doing business and popularize Pool.
Billiards exists for hundreds years and I'm sure it allways will be as long as humanity exists.
The idea that I have an opprtunity to leave my mark in Billiards history aspires me.
I glad to share my knowledge about fullsplice cues, gonna collect everything in one place and show it from perspective where fullspice cue designs are simple.

Hello Friends! This Autumn gonna be hot!
Below are details about plans and updates. Our goal is to maintain stable cuebuilding processing of top quality items in any extreme conditions.
It would be more effective for the society if we assemble drones or at least produce parts for them. But our business is cuebuilding. Anyway we have connections with many DIY local military companies and happy to share them with you. Who knows how these knots will tie. I'm sure billiards community worldvide is powerful and influencial in different spheres, so spread the word around. Unity, cooperation and support are the only way to victory for sure.

1st.
So first of all we've started engaging women to the cuemaking processing, thus we increase guarantees that total mobilisation won't affect the business. Location and power autonomy are also in solving.
Processing line has been worked out for decades and ladies from our crew are very talanted, skilled and scrupulous so the quality of products is top.

2nd.
Raw cue blanks and square blanks of dyed Hornbeam wood are the main products. Because for now it's the fastest and the most stable ways of cooperation.
Finished cues are also available of course.
Wood-species-23.jpg


3rd.
We have to standardize the parameters for finished cues. Our choise for a Pool cues are the followed:

Length: 60 inches (30\30)
Weight: 19 oz
Joint: Radial, 21.4mm collar diameter
Butt diameter: 30mm
Tip diameter: 11-12mm, carbon ferrule, Triangle medium tip
Pro tapered shaft

Custom parameters are available with an extra cost. Calculations will be on the website.

4th.
In September we'll make up to 10 cues of 2-3 different models in stock. Here on AZB I'll create a thread with cues "in stock" and on ongoing basis we'll vote models for the next bunch. It should be fun!

5th.
For every season there is a collection that have the most attractive cost. This Autumn a Patriot collection has the most democratic cost. It is made of Hornbeam black, blue and yellow assembled in 24 possible combinations in a model called "Tulip 2p. long overlapped". You can check all of them by the link below:

https://www.shurikencues.com/product-category/collections/patriot/

Also there is an option to choose a type of the product: cue blank, cue butt, cue with a black shaft, cue with a white shaft, cue with a spliced shaft.
All models from the collection have the same price. Some of them are very complex and in different season will cost much higher ;)

6th.
We are planning to play 1 cue for a lottery. Every person who buys a spot, for say $10-$30, will be applied for a lottery. Then random number generator will choose a winner.

Thanks for reading! Stay tuned!
God bless you all!

Here I show what is the model called Tulip: https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/fullsplice-pool-cue-model-called-tulip.556854/

Variety of the Tulip geometries multiplied by different wood species combinations get so many models that would be enough for an each pool player on the Earth to have their own unique cue.

Just dig it, have fun, earn money, leave your mark in fullsplice industry, have your own NFT with your unique design like these: https://opensea.io/poolcues/
Or create and patent your offline collection like this one: https://www.shurikencues.com/product-category/collections/patriot/
Let's make it together!

By the way, one of the cues from the Patriot collection will be played in the lottery in a few weeks. There will be 19 spots, $19 is the cost of each. I'll post it here on AZB when it's complete.

Hello Anton, hope you and your family are safe.

I'd too like to just confirm that you have me and my specs on the list too since I didn't get your email about specs but I did send them to you in a separate email (to: shurikencues@gmail.com).

Best regards!

I'm +- normal, thanks. Feels like a prelude to WW3. Hopefully I'm wrong, but 3 years ago I would not believe that there would be a full scale russian invasion in Ukraine... Ukraine needs more modern ammo and manpower to stop the aggressor. But probably it still won't be enough for a total peace. Mindset is much more important. If all people around the Globe find themselves managing their own business, developing personality, creating goods and so on, the war would end at one moment. Respect those who live around, do no harm, create, develop, love, friendship... sounds so hippie and utopical, that it never becomes reality for sure. So along with all this love and respect we have to develop strength and brutal coldblood punishing power for criminals. But then - who may decide what is a crime? Starting an occupational war that has already killed hundreds of thousands people is a crime for sure. But millions from the other side don't think so, even if they know it from the TV, even if they know that the TV lies. Billions of people on the Planet just don't care, solving their own problems. I'm sure that the absolute total majority of people on Earth understand correctly what is good and bad. We have to collect evidence of crimes for them, we have to be strong and powerful, we have to punish the aggressor, we have to survive and show to the next generations what's good and bad.
Ukraine has to win this war for the whole civilised world. Ukraine is not the best example of anti corruption, gay tolerance, clean energy and other important stuff, but it will be from the pain and suffering we are going through at the moment. But if Ukraine falls, dictatorship will rule the world again and then WW3 is inevitable. So we have to be strong to survive. Me and you.

I ordered a completed butt from Anton and thought I would post a positive review. It's amazing he's able to ship product from Ukraine. The butt is 14.36oz, .845 at the joint, and 30" long. Pin is straight, joint is concentric, face is flat, and points are even.


I ordered a blank last year from Anton that was also great.
