    Tascarella, Built 36 Years Ago

    Still staying alive... Hey Guys, Do you realize that Pete Tascarella finished making this cue in 1978, just when the movie Saturdays Night fever came out?

    Cue Extensions & Custom Bridges

    Who is alraedy using such a fury extension? I'm using the same bridge as well! I just need 2-3 screwing turns on my Break Cue and it stays right behind the tip without moving at all! Actually a real good product for a very low price. (I paid for mine 11$) Now concerning these "snooker like"...

    I'm real sorry because... Hy Jerry, I'm really sorry but I almost couldn't look at your nice cues. Because I was already completely occupied by starring at your Justis Case. I think, it has been made either in Heaven or Hell! Hard to believe that something so fantastic locking with that fine...

    Real or fake?

    A fake at 99% OK the Box really has the original design of Aramith Boxes. But you should find somewhere printed in big and thick letters the name: ARAMITH! Normally above! Then your balls look like cheap copies. Because already the rings around the numbers you mentioned too, are definetely too...

    Preview: PFD Studios Mitered Veneer Ivory Windows "Box" Cue!

    This Pfd Custom Cue has really tons of Ivory and ebony and the great art of Paul is that he made it in a way, that the cue still doesn't look overloaded. Well if I would pretend anything else as; every work has been done just perfectly, would be a lie! The choosen materials (Very very classic...

    My Steve Klapp beauty just came in!!

    To me it looks a little like a mix from some of the bests from the past! This Steve Klapp is a nice vintage cue (like a lot of people would call it today) I prefer to name it an old school cue. To me it looks a little, like a mix from some of the bests from the past! IMO the forearm could have...

    My brand new Sugartree

    That's what I call pure understatement Well figured tiger maple, long and a little shorter sharp points and a handle made of such nice pieces of amboyna burl.

    Kamui Chalk

    80P is absolutely right! Dear 80P, I completely agree to you. You realy better make a gift of 30$ to a childrens help foundation, instead to buy for these nearly 30$ one single smaller sized cube of that Kamui chalk! I just want to remind to all of you: Just remember what's the thing in...

    SCHON, custom cue makers.

    Conerning: WHAT'S IN YOUR CASE? I think I saw them quit all. I realy like these short clips that much and in my eyes it's very interesting what shaft and tips is using for example Ralph Soquet or what kind of needfull things Efren Reyes has in his case... As a very big Schon fan, of course I...

    How much you think is Schön Unique Cue worth, NOW?!

    Bavangoul: You present a tough question.......Schons do not retain value very well.....it's a proven fact....the cues play great but collectability values aren't the same. It really doesn't matter much which model it is... Schon probably did value this cue @ over $3k......I think you said $3700...

    Name some gaudy cues to avoid....

    This is for sure a great player! I'm sure that exact this cue would have been the best player worldwide........................at least around the 12th century. OK, not for playing Pool. But still very usefull for some Vikings (Noooo, not the cues) to cut some heads away! The brand-logo...

But a few days ago a friend of mine, who's a furniture carpenter said it may be some East Indian Rosewood! Now I'm really insecured about it! Could you please take a close look on the forearm and butt...
