Re: http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2014/02/11/fact-sheet-national-strategy-combating-wildlife-trafficking-commercial-b I guess 'some of you' didn't work 'hard enough' on the issue and lost 'the fight'. Additionally, I guess your groups "goal" to "prevent this unfair and unreasonable...

When Murphy is not at your place, he sometimes lives here. ;)

Either price would be a steal for that machine.

Tom, I knew I'd get an interesting and witty reply from you. I was going to explain the "handwriting on the wall" but I didn't think anyone here would understand it much less would care so that's why I went with whomever said it. Cabin fever huh. I'm not going to address your dissertation...

Tom, I already said all that in one sentence: "More relevant though is perhaps a law banning interstate commerce of ivory products between states. So, if the ivory is in Florida, then it can only be bought and sold within the state of Florida. I wouldn't put that law past the Feds". You state...

Bingo! You hit the nail right on the head with that statement. Let's first say that Gibson was out-of-pocket around 5 mil to perhaps 10 mil. They spend 3 mil on legal representation. The rest are numbers pulled from the air. Quite frankly, when lawyers see a fish of a company as large as...

To set the record straight - the "Mason" micarta is nonsense. He may have been the first to handle it but others have now taken the lead. The stuff is available from the manufacturer for anyone wanting to buy it, can afford their minimum order and knows what to order. Hightower and myself are...

The exact answer is.... the tip you will get the most spin out of is the tip that you will get the most spin out of. I can guarantee you that. The answer is different for everyone and no scientific experiment is going to be the same for every player so you can throw all that crap out the window...

That's amazing because if I look at Snakewood wrong it cracks!

I don't want to go round and round on this as I said there is nothing wrong with what you are doing (even though it's not for me) as it is obviously working for you. However, now since you pushed the issue, yes warped. A warp even slightly is a warp. If your gun drill went through it once, then...

WOW - talk about different operations! Not faulting you here because it must be working for you in your area. With that note aside... Now, we are talking about well aged wood here so with that in mind... Early on, I tried letting the wood hang with a hole blown through it and it just doesn't...

Bob, uh, I seem to remember that you were the one who said your good buddy knows more than me and he handles more wood than me so your statement, "You know more about everyone's business" flies in the face of logic of what you just stated and pertains to yourself. I'm done with this nonsense...

Rick, I can definitely give you some advice here having cored a few ebony sticks myself in both high humidity and extremely low humidity (as in Vegas). Here's what I would do: Plan on completing this in one session. Core them, glue them up with a coring dowel, (Gorilla glue works best in this...

I made a "blanket statement? Correction: it wasn't a statement; it is fact. I'm amazed. Someone knows more than me. :rolleyes: Just because your dealer has been in business more than 30 years means nothing. I can show you cue makers who have been in business 30 years and still know nothing...

Bob.. I'm extremely sorry that you thought this was a pissing match. We both made comments and shared our opinions. I can't imagine why you felt that way. You stated that your "person" you got the wood from understands the price for wood is rising but I beg to differ with you that he doesn't...

I don't doubt that as there are always pockets of dealers who have stuff laying around and don't know the current market. When whomever you purchased that from goes to re-stock, they'll be in for a rude awakening. At $80 per BF for turning squares, we'd take every bit that they could supply and...

There is green pricing and dry pricing among wood dealers. Higher moisture content = lower price per board foot or per pound. Drier wood = higher pricing. You have a wholesale piece looking to get a retail price based on a cant. The only way to do that is cutting it up and seeing what you have...

Aged steaks! What type of steaks? Porterhouse, Delmonico or T bone? I like all three so it really doesn't matter. :D

Personally, I don't believe IMHO of course, that walnut has any business being in a cue.

Ivory ferrules can and will all hit similarly if you buy from the same source who knows how and from where to cut ivory. Ivory is one of the heaviest ferrule materials to use on a cue but that doesn't make it wrong or bad. It makes it different than other materials and most will agree that...
