Finished them today. New owner is coming to pick them up tomorrow.

Chris, I think you are going to have to change your Avatar!

Chris, Stop playing around and post some pics of the cue with a clear coat on it!

Looks great Chris!

Rick, Thanks very much for the compliments! From the looks of it you've been kicking it up a notch also!

Here's two I just finished up.

Justin, It's Cocobolo in the forearm and butt.

Thanks much! A lot of Blood, Sweat, and even a few tears went into this one!

Just have to put tips on and she's all done.

Wow. Nice cue from a really good cue maker! Can't see this lasting long at that price!

Nice Cue Jon! I wish I could have made it to the show. It was a real good time having a few cold ones with you, Brent and Chris B. We will have to do it again at the Hopkins show this year.

Hi Greg, Wish I could have made it out to the show! Sounds like it was a great time. Glad to hear the stands worked out well. Give me a call when you get a chance, I want to make front name plates for your stands.

Hi Barry, Thanks very much! You know it doesn't take much to talk me into taking an afternoon off. I have a couple of new toys for us to play with. Let me know when you guys want to go.

The joint collar and pin are made out of Tellurium Copper. Tom Migliore told me that the pins machined well. I may make up a few joint collars and keep one with wax and one without, just to see how it tarnishes. I'm hoping to finish this cue up within the next two weeks.

Thanks for sharing the pics. Looks like everyone had a great time!

Thanks for the comments! First cue that I saw with Copper was by John Rocker a few years ago In Valley Forge. Tom, Good Question! I'm hoping if it's properly maintained and a nice coat of wax should keep it from tarnishing. I guess we will find out! The handle will have black Kangaroo on it.

Took the advise given and tossed the idea of using copper plated parts. Went with a custom made Copper 3/8-10 pin, Thanks Tom Migliore, and copper sleeve turned down from 1" bar stock.

I looked in Ace Hardware and Home Depot, Couldn't find anything close to .840. Picked up a 1" bar of copper to make my own thin wall copper joint.

Sorry for not responding faster. I had the same concerns about the copper plating wearing off. I'm having a few copper 3/8-10 pins made up and just got a copper bar that I'm going to fabricate a copper sleeve for the joint out of. I just really want to get this cue done!

Bob, I was looking for some Cocobolo Burl. Found some very nice figured stuff that will do. Thanks much for the offer!
