I’m in talks with him. He’s got a couple builds ahead of me but end of May/June he should be able to start on mine :)

This one is over twenty years old but I likely will not use it

Follow up question then, what’s the best way for me to care for my shaft? Small bit of rubbing alcohol? Wet wipes?

Appreciate the responses!

So in addition to the cue with the warped shaft (which I just received my case and replacement shaft today! [emoji16]) and a box of chalk I received this... I assumed it was to be used every couple shots to keep my shaft from dragging through my bridge fingers?

Thanks everyone! Bill’s work is exactly like what I want. I also discovered GD’s butterfly cases and want one of those too now [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

WAF custom cases are exactly what I was wanting!!! Thanks!

I know the box style cases are a lot less popular these days but is there a high quality box case like the one in Color Of Money? All I see are super cheap ones or more industrial looking options. I loved the blue velour case that the Jossbushka was in even more than the cue [emoji23] Thanks!

I called Pooldawg after no real options found for a local billiards supply. I’m going to go with a Players HXT shaft and the woman mentioned the tip was soft so I’m upgrading to a Tiger Everest based on things I’ve heard people say about it.

Thanks! I bet it will too once I get a shaft on it

I THINK this is 5/16*18 connection? It’s a little more beat up than I remember but I love the inlays and the character. Just wanted to share better pics. I’m in Harrison NJ and thinking about stopping into either Blatt Billiards or Action Billiards today or tomorrow if someone recommends one...

So which current manufacture cues are Japan made?

I never even considered that! Would help keep this a truly special, one of a kind cue!

That was my intention. I don’t even have the old shaft it was so warped. So I planned on either finding a billiards supply place near Harrison/Newark NJ that would have a compatible shaft or a place online that I will. One person recommended an OB shaft with a Tiger Everest tip so I was...

Thanks guys! I’ll get better pics!
