It will fit the Uniloc joint just fine. The only "issue" is that if your BK3 is the same joint collar diameter as my BK2, the shaft will be just slightly larger in joint diameter (~21.38mm vs. ~21.52mm on my equipment). At least in my case, there is a barely perceptible lip. I can only speak...

Just ordered a Mezz. Mezz USA has some in stock.

18 years. My name should come up in a couple years. I signed up in 2009. As far as roses? Why not? There have to be pool players that enjoy roses and would like to have one on a cue. I don't know that Eddie has done a rose, but he made a really nice cue with lotuses...

A soft bar soap like Ivory on the threads might help. If not, I'd get a cue maker or repair person to chase the threads in the shaft.

I put a washer or two in it to raise the chalk. Coins would work as well. I might also 3d print some risers at some point.

Eddie makes some amazing cues. This one has 1052 inlays: https://eocues.com/collections/cues/products/chintz-snake-four-pointer

Are current day Schons cored?

A friend that does cue repair has replaced a bunch of Cynergy ferrules. Cuetec uses a super soft material, and it seems prone to damage. As far as the SMO goes: I like the SMO quite a bit and even played a league match with one last night. That said, I tend to go back to a Revo. Were I...

I agree with you on both counts. Also, it's an 18 year wait for a Southwest.

Yeah? Well, you know, that's just like uh, your opinion, man. It's easy enough to say that customs have less of a place than they used to compared to production but there are plenty folks that still want customs. For instance, I'm negotiating picking up 3 Richard Blacks currently. Between...

It's probably not deep enough to fit the length of the joint pin. Pretty sure I had to go to 38mm depth to fit my modified pin on a few shafts (SMO, Rhino, McD i2, etc).

Given that it was nothing but farmers for about 50-60 miles, it would not be out of the realm of possibility.

It might help if you specify what "cheap" is. If no one has one, I can usually find a used McDermott Lucky on eBay for less than $100: https://www.ebay.com/itm/116913423648?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=5335988529&toolid=20001&mkevt=1 You can also get a brand...

I grew up on a farm. We had a party line until the mid 80's.

I'd say buy a new Joss or Jacoby and call it a day.
