So having a few cues build......should I take a loupe to it?

My buddy told me not to do it and he's not really into cues. He's a sensible person that works with wood too.

He told me to just enjoy it. Since I do like cues and the art of making cues....I thought I take a loupe and do a quick run down of my purchases.

I got this idea from how Dennis Searing use to carry a loupe around and put another maker's cue under the loupe.

There are people at the pool hall that like to show me their cues and I don't like to be bothered when playing. It could be a deterrent if I put their precious cue under a loupe.

Maybe I am wrong if a Cuemaker is on top of their game, they will try as hard as possible to product perfect Cues to best of their ability each and every time. JMHO.

The catch is that to build a perfect cue every time would require synthetic materials instead of organic and machinery that would cost in the millions. Then you would have a production cue even if it was limited production, not really a custom in my opinion.

a cue builder uses their skills to build something well beyond what the equipment and material seems possible to use to create. Not cues but other things I have spent many hours exceeding apparent capabilities. A hundred hours or more handfitting components that I could have bought prefit. Thing is prefit has to accept certain tolerances, fairly loose tolerances in my world. The tolerances I worked to couldn't be measured, they had to be gauged.

Cue builders build the best cue they can, and the best someone is willing to pay for. I have created perfect. Nobody could pay fair value for it so I only created it for myself and a few people close to me.

Key word is "try".

True perfection is not achievable, and is actually relative.

I wouldn't do anything that Searing does in fear of an ass beating.
