bump for a masterpiece :grin:

the proof is in the pudding What keeps surprising me in this thread is how loosely things are labeled as "proof" to damage someone's reputation. So far, the only things I've seen are someone's statement about what his girlfriend told a cue maker while he wasn't present.The other "proof" is two...

Amazing cue - From Russia with Love :wink: I sent a PM - if all works out I'll take numbers 13 and 23. Let's get this beauty raffled off!

Wow! 875 for a recut full splice is a steal! :thumbup: Unfortunately I can't afford another one at the moment...

I'd say that if you want a really stiff hit, you should consider a full splice cue. Examples include Whisler, Blackcreek, Komarov... While taper and tip can make a big difference, I find that on balance full splices will give you a much stiffer hit due to the more direct transmission of force.

Simply stunning work! I'm looking forward to buying my first DBK! Carsten

Dmitry's craftsmanship is simply stunning - another great looking cue. Good luck with the sale!

just to reply to your question: the social gambling exception will not apply, as point 3 of the section your link references reads: "Gambling is conducted 'as a business' when it is engaged in with the object of gain, benefit or advantage, either direct or indirect, realized or unrealized, but...

No problem - if you get around to it, maybe include one with the shaft screwed on, just to get an impression. Thanks again.

I just got a friendly pm telling me that this has already been discussed in detail - sorry for bringing it up again. - Carsten

[please delete] [edit: I got the point - I'm happy to have the thread deleted] Sorry about the basic question. I am new to this forum and just discovered the raffle section. Aren't raffles illegal in the United States? I'm not an expert in this area, but here's what I think the law says: A...

- Sorry. I was looking for 59" minimum. So if it is really 58" it's not for me... Good luck with the sale, it really is beauty!
