I believe he was working for them but still did some of his own stuff. Haven't heard from him in a while

I got a few jump/break tips directly from them recently.
The emails came from Jim (I guess Jim Stadum) so I guess still the same owner unless it's just an email they haven't changed

The Tru Shaft was great and still is! Put mine on the other day and it felt like my favorite rocking chair

To the best of my knowledge Jim Stadum still owns Samsara. But based on everything I've read, he's super hard to get a hold of. He does still post things online every once in a while but it's very hit or miss. I might be misremembering this next part, so take it however you'd like, but I also seem to recall reading somewhere a while back that they were doing production work for another cue company.

Having said all that, the first custom cue I ever ordered was from them way back around 2000. They quoted me six months and it delivered six months and one day later. Some of you might have read this next part before, but that cue is the only thing I've ever regretted selling. It was absolutely perfect in every way and played lights out. The wood and build quality was as good as I've ever seen on any cue.

I saw Ted almost a year ago and he said Samsara was a year behind on making their Break Tips. Didn't ask if they were still making cues.

I'll send him a message
