I have been building cues in the area since the 90's. I see that you are located near my shop ( about a half hour) If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Looks like you are a newbie to the craft of cue making. I also have equiptment for sale as well as I'm always looking to buy. I also buy, trade and sell cues of all kinds so if you have any please let me know. The super Billiards Expo is coming up in a week, it is for cue makers from all over the world, you should go. I buy most of my supplies there to last me the next year. Great prices, great product, and a great way to meet other cue makers who have been doing this for decades.
