That;s a beautiful case, love the color.

Al are you building cues now fully or just your son? You built matching cues for me and my missus when your shop was in AC then you had some medical issues. After that your son built us matching jump/break cues, I am a foreigner living locally. That was 6 or 7 years back, and so far the cues...

Try a custom cue case maker to see if they can do it or have done it. I have seen some beautiful leather cases for 8 ball.

Damn that's a gorgeous case, love the lighter colors.

Report @ivicafranic, Please show some of yours!! You have some gorgeous examples to share.

Pretty sure he's spot on. 3X6 CLASSIC LEATHER CASE is the actual name of the case. Great case though no matter what the name and GLWS, as it would be a great addition to anyone's collection.

Great case, the butterfly case gives awesome access when you are actually playing!!

I wasnt buying with thoughts of reselling either, just pointing out the value of a pinoy built cue goes down so fast compared to others.

Life is super rough here in the Philippines, but the problem is these cue makers here that are selling at almost US prices should be doing well financially. So they shouldn't be needing to fk over there customers. With black pearl cues Al had a stroke, i fronted the son some money and he said...

Trust me i agree,,,, Blackpeart is decent quality and i havent tried all the makers here but there pricing was good 6 or 7 years back and then all of a sudden it seemed like they were inline with US makers, which is craziness. I have 2 break and 2 players from blackpearl that are fine still...

Having lived in the Philippines many years, this is so common. Black Pearl was the only maker who never asked for a deposit or anything (although i gave) in any of the cues he built for me. I also bought one from him a (JD cues not Black Pearl) few years back and it was a mess when i finally...

Got you, that's fkn sad man................. If you are still local, i would pay him a man to man visits. No heroics, but before I left he would be shitting out $6,000 in crisp $100 bills or delivering that cue.

I have no dog in this fight and i personally think Tonkin cues to be more on the gawdy side for me, but if you knew his so well why would you pay him in full?

I agree, dont own one yet but it will happen soon. Plus a very fair waiting time. To the OP: depends on your budget, how long you are willing to wait and the "style" you want. For example Tascarellas's are not going to make something completely opposite to what they normally make (i am...

Beautiful case and i love the one large pouch idea!
