Thanks Mike!

Would like to see examples of cues with cocobolo forearm and points. Looking for ideas for the veneer colour combinations.

Miss that room "North of Toronto"!

Just came across this thread and was also recently at Dishaw's shop picking up a cue where I seen Dan's player. Believe he made it for himself in the early 00's, the forearm and butt sleeve are snakewood with gold/ivory/turquoise rings and leather wrap. Its a beautiful cue! Thought I had a...

You associate looks of something to its actual ability to function and the skills of the user? Good on you, to post something like that when you obviously have no idea what you are actually typing! LOL You keep being you, and working on the 'hobbies' you enjoy!

With the current cue in question, the expectations that were communicated, were only that I'm really looking for "sharp and even points"! So when I saw pictures and this wasn't the case I was surprised, hence why I asked the question in the forum. I wanted to learn as well as determine if there...

I find it so amusing that hoping for and the esthetics of something are found to be 'nit picky'. Just goes to show that different people, have different standards. As for the "bicker over", I have and will not argue over what I have asked about in this thread. I was simply looking for...

Expectations are not really a number for me, but more so that in a picture of the forearm or at arms length the difference in length isn't the first thing you notice. If it had to be a number, I would expect not more out of line than 0.125"!

Thank you for providing feedback that actually has value. My post was intended to gain insight, to see if what I was expecting was too much. As I didn't want to be unfair to the maker with my expectations and go back to them with something unrealistic. Since posting my question, I have...

It takes all kinds, doesn't it! Have a good day!

Thanks for your .02! Now do you have any actual feedback that my post is looking for? Since I am trying to educate myself and to know if there is a 'standard' that should be expected for my next purchase? - Is it expected when building cues that points & veneers should be equal? - Is it...

When looking at points on a cue, including veneers within the points, I prefer/expect that all should be equal across the cue. Not being a cue maker myself, I do not know if this is also expected during the build process by the maker or how hard it is to make happen. I'm trying to determine...

Interested in a BCM Cue by Brian Mordt. No ebony, with points, Hoppe Ring and leather or linen wrap.

Hello, I have a Gold Crown IV that kicks balls out of the side pockets if not hit dead center and at slower speed. I believe the issue is that the rails were lengthened causing the pocket rubber to push out, causing the balls to spit out. I'm curious of the recommended solution to this...

Good point, the table is a 9ft Gold Crown 4.

Looking for recommendations and contact info for mechanics to dismantle and move a table from North East of the GTA (Ontario, Canada) and going 90 mins east. Thanks in advance for suggestions.

Thanks all!

Well just got back from looking at the table and pretty sure it is not a GC3 but a GC4. There is no Brunswick emblem on the rail top, it has flush pockets and what look to be levelers under the table for the slate. I went ahead with the purchase and now will just arrange somebody to dismantle it...
