Hello Cuemakers, I am looking to order a few maple shafts. Basic ringwork, no ivory. Any cuemakers on here taking shaft orders? Thanks, Ian

Nice. I like the satin finish.

Thanks. Pete said no more than a dozen have been made.

Just received these from Pete. One is rosewood, other is Ebony.

In Illinois and looks to be mint 8ft gold crown - https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/298127195334386/?ref=search&referral_code=marketplace_search&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A35bf8423-92ce-468b-972b-1432003f1a5d

Thanks. I checked out gartens page and he looks like a good choice and the styles I am looking for. I messaged him. I've worked w a few cuemakers that can/will turn cues around in 3-4 months. This includes tascarella.

Thanks or the responses. I have a few Tascarellas and more on order with them. Top of the heap in my book. Looking for additional cuemakers, Reasonable turnaround and old school design. No strict price requirements. Ian

Many of the traditional builders seem to have retired. I am looking to have an old school, steel joint with delrin cue built. Any builders on here like to build in that style? Looking for a few month turn around. Thanks, Ian

I've been searching for a maple TAD with fancy butt. Just got one in the mail. It was built in the 60's with 2 new shafts in 2012 by TAD. Very nice cue.

Ebony Rounceville blank and some rings...

Thanks for sharing numbers. In my area, these 2 would probably be 10x today or more.

agree, but that doesn't align with todays prices of a similar cue. @2000$. And to be clear, I feel 2000 is very cheap for such a cue. I am just curious what was different in the 70s that justified such a low price of $135/$600 for a cue? In summary, why were these cues so cheap back then...
