I burnish shafts with paper only. A brown paper bag works fine. Both shaft and paper come from the same source. A tree.

Looks like particle board with veneer. Take it to the dump.

Similar to model A/H-11 in the Blue Book of Pool Cues.

Old Adam cues. Looks good.

At the 211 Club there was not a no gambling sign. But we did have a no whistling sign. Strictly enforced. In most money matches there was no gambling. More stealing than gambling.

If you use a brush, do so with caution. Chalk is highly abrasive. Please wear a mask.

You don't own a poolhall. The poolhall owns you!

Bert and Lou were buddies. Poker game at Bert and Pat's apartment on Friday night. Lou said if he missed a make able shot he would go home and shoot that shot till he made it 100 times in a row.

You have outdone yourself on this one Bob. Simply amazing!!!!!

Breathing is very important! You can hypnotize yourself with a mantra. I used stay down and follow through. Repeat over and over to yourself. You know you can make any shot on the table if you stay down and follow through. After two or three games it won't be necessary. You won't be aware of...

Tried years ago. Doesn't work. Hit the cue ball near the edge of the tip and a big chunk flys off. If the tip mushrooms, the overhang needs to be trimmed off. You can burnish it then.

I have used older trophies for similar cues. A lot of thrift store shopping.
