Appreciate the compliment, Nick. We don't have any plans to sell forearms presently. I have a pretty demanding day job and my son is pursuing a degree in finance, so I'm afraid we'd struggle to produce our own cues if we start building blanks for other folks. :)

Yeah, I need something with a little bigger aperture than my iPhone, but pulling out the Canon is way less convenient! This one has veneered points courtesy of our friends at Prather Cue Parts. Been spending way more time outfitting our shop this year than actually making cues, but that's also...

Butt is complete, shafts are in the spray booth...;)

My son and I are avid handgun shooters as well. He could handle a full-size 9mm like a pro (and shoot it accurately) by the age of 9. We were gearing up to compete in IPSC and IDPA until he discovered our pool table, and that's held his interest ever since. Don't get to the range that much...

As a cuemaker, I’m using the 3/8-10 modified pin because I prefer the feel of the flat-face joint configuration, but primarily like it for installation considerations. That pin (and also the radial) has a barreled center section that will insert into a properly bored hole very precisely, which...

@TC Mabe - PM sent. 😁

Thanks, folks. Really appreciate the feedback! :D (y)

Just recently finished the shafts and JP's for this one. 4 points of Bocote into Ebony, natural/brown/blue veneers with black paper between, decorative rings with 8 slots of a matching 5-veneer stack into Ebony surrounded by Bocote and black phenolic, black textured leather wrap, straight maple...

Thanks for all the positive feedback, folks. Much appreciated. We have several cues in the works but may be another month or so before they're ready. Here's a pic of a cue we finished last month that was a late Christmas present for a friend. Built from a Schmelke full-splice blank of Bocote...

Thanks! Likely will be selling this particular cue soon. Haven't had much spare time for building new cues the last couple months, and have spent that time expanding our capabilities in the shop and experimenting with different construction and finishing processes. Built a spray box with...

Thanks! Hard to take my bias out of the equation, but I think these hit really nicely. Ebony-nosed cues just seem to have a slightly different feel that I really like. They perform very well. The solid maple shaft/short Tomahawk ferrule/Ultraskin tip combo feels solid but still has very...

So, we picked up a couple matching ebony-nosed prongs from Prather awhile back because we reasoned we could make more efficient use of the ring billets we've been building for each individual cue, but mainly because we just really like ebony-nosed cues and thought these looked cool. Originally...

Thanks, guys! Can't take credit for the point work on this one. The prong came from my fellow Okies at Prather Cue Parts. Been primarily working with pre-made prongs until I get a bit more equipment and space so I can make my own. Just sold a car so I can dedicate an entire 1-car garage to...

Thanks, folks. Really appreciate the feedback. Mr. Webb, first let me offer a big thanks to you and the other cuemakers active on the "Ask the Cuemaker" forum. What I've learned from that one source has been a huge help to us this year. We're calling them Ott Custom Cues (father and son...

Just finished this one. 4 long points of Tamarind, 4 short ebony points into birdseye maple, copper rings around 8-slot decorative rings with 5 veneers at each slot, 3/8-10 modified pin and black leather wrap.

Thanks, guys! Really appreciate the compliments. The first couple cues we made that weren't conversions were indeed 4-pointers with classic veneer colors. We've made a couple cues that are more flashy than this purpleheart cue, but this one is probably our cleanest as far as execution. You...

I've always had great respect for cuemakers and have owned many nice cues over the years, but I've certainly gained a whole new level of appreciation over the last several months. Although we've come a long way in a short period of time, the learning curve is extraordinarily steep. Getting a...
