Capone was my choice Vee, I have been lucky enough to own a number of the cues that you have mentioned. I have owned two Bender cues, a SouthWest cue, and I currently own a Mike Capone cue which is Ebony and Snakewood. In terms of hit and overall playability I prefer the Capone. In fact I...

Blud, Thank you for sharing your technique and sharing your experience with nelsonite versus sanding sealer. You mentioned that you use a very high solids sanding sealer currently and I was wondering if you might PM me with more information. I understand if you don't want to share a brand or...

Michael, Thanks for the response, I have noticed that a couple of your newer cues have been made using snakewood and another used amboyna (awesome cues BTW). Did you have to take any special precautions or special steps working with these woods versus say cocobolo or ebony? I have cut...

I am just getting started on making my first couple cues and I have a question about wax sealer used on bare wood. I have noticed that a lot of wood that I have ordered has the ends sealed with a wax sealer when I receive it. I believe this is to prevent checking and cracking? My question is...

Tom, Thanks for the feedback and recommendations. When I ordered a few pieces of cocobolo from Bell Forest I told him exactly what I wanted (darker orange / red color with a lot of figure). The guy I worked with said he would hand pick pieces to my spec for $2 more a piece and I was really...

Thanks! I just wanted to thank everyone for the feedback and the warning about the one company. And Greg, thanks for the warning, but I think I am already addicted. So far I have only turned down wood to be used in forearms and butt sleeves, but I am already excited and looking at different...

Hello everyone, I am cue junkie that is hoping to turn into a cue maker over the course of the next few years. I have recently been given the opportunity to work with someone locally that does a lot of repair work and has built between 50-75 cues some while he was working with another cue...

Capone My vote goes to Mike Capone, but I am biased because I own an ebony and snakewood cue built by Capone that is awesome. I have owned cues from Southwest and Mike Bender not to mention a number of production cues, and the Capone is my all time favorite. I do agree that Andy Gilbert and...

I know a cue repair guy that did something similiar with the Fury Jump/Break cue which I believe is the same type of tip/ferrule material (black linen rod). He just faced off the black linen tip/ferrule combo on the fury Jump/Break and then attached a tip.

Bumbay, If I were to rate the case and 10 was the best rating (new condition), then I would rate this case as an 8. Considering this is a used case which is probably 10 years old it was kept in very good condition with only a minimal number of scratches or scrapes. It is clear that the case...

Shorty, I sent you a PM. I would prefer to sell the case since I already have too many cues and cases, but I will entertain all offers. I will cover standard shipping in the US. Thanks, Spencer

Fast, I sent you a PM with my email address. I will need your email address to send you more detailed pictures. Thanks, Spencer

I have a sledgehammer cue that I would like to sell or possibly trade for a Predator BK. I only used the sledgehammer for about 2 months and I just couldn't get comfortable with the large taper on the shaft or the tip so I switched back to breaking with my playing cue which has a predator...

I have an It's George leather 2x4 case that I took for trade a while back. I recently found out that the case is an extra long special order case (thanks for the info TATE). The standard It's George case is 33" and will barely fit a 60" cue without joint protectors. This case measures in at...
