By the time we got to Cuestock . . .

It begins tomorrow. Cuestock is a prominent, exclusive custom cue event historically hosted by Hall of Fame custom pool cue maker Richard Black at his estate, Blackwood, which is located in Texas.

It is a place where cue makers get together and talk shop, I think. They have various presentations about cue-related topics and business strategies.

Here is an old article about it: https://blackcues.com/cuestock2014.shtml

Here's an interview by Eddie P / Crossroad Cues talking with Scott Gilmore and showing off Richard Black's shop. The second cue that Eddie picks up belongs to a forum member. Can't remember if he's showed it off or not.

I've seen a couple of Richard Black's cues like those up close in Gilmore's shop. Video does it no justice.

In the video, Scott Gilmore said that Richard Black's butt size is "twelve eighty five". Is that 1.285"? If so, I want one.

Mike Capone of Capone Custom Cues is the current president of the American Cuemakers Association. He shared these photos on Facebook of this event.

Sounds like it. I'll see him in a couple weeks and see if I can confirm.
