Killer cue

That’s a fair argument. At their price point I guess it’s a status symbol. I’ve never really paid attention to the brand because of that price point. They are definitely more watch than something typically way overpriced like a Hublot.

Yeah, just reading up. No pool player would buy these. Maybe a watch collector but I doubt it. A Patek fan but still doubt it. I don’t see the market for this at all. It’s like a super wealthy novelty item.

I would guess by name only. Like Omega’s moonswatch. I’ve never heard or seen these though and I follow the watch world regularly.

Looks killer

Thanks guys

Do you core everything? I’ve not worked with Tulipwood yet but I was under the impression that it’s dense and similar to rosewood. I’ve never cored rosewoods or ebony… woods like that.

I bought a set in blue from you some years back and can confirm these look just as fantastic in person as they do in these pictures. Top notch dye work.

Here comes the regulars to ruin threads in the main because they can’t keep their bullshit political opinions in the proper place.

I can’t help you but I’ll caution you to do any business with his son. Who ripped me off for a few hundred bucks over a buyback of two of his dad’s cues I had. I’ll admit partial fault for having a heart and sending the cues to him for partial payment and a promise. If you send this cue to him...

Others will probably be more helpful but is your mineral spirits old and funky. I’ve seen gross caking with older and contaminated mineral spirits.

Did Rico Cervantes use that blunt pin early on? I don’t know why it immediately popped in my head. The butt and joint rings remind me of him but don’t seem exactly on brand for him.

Video looks good. Nice build.

Boards break all the time. I assume this is just cutoffs from fresh stock. I have stacks of my kids boards that he’s broken. Probably a few dozen over a decade. Various colors. If I ever get around to doing this myself. I have a chops myself from the first run. Good cue.

I'm probably too late on this but Pete's Billiards is right there in SA and those guys can handle this job no problem. 2318 Blanco Rd. They are fully set up for all cue related work including custom cue making.
