I got a couple of nice pieces from www.amazonexotichardwoods.com and I know a local, very well known cuemaker that got a couple of very nice pieces from www.westpennhardwoods.com.

Deacon - Is this case strong enough to serve as a travel case on airplanes? Thanks

I just purchased a gorgeous PFD cue from jazznpool aka Martin Bick. I have had a lot of clean, smooth internet transactions but none were as easy as this one. Great communication, quick and secure shipping, and just a real good guy to deal with IMO. Martin, thanks for a super clean deal. We...

Manwon - I bought a cue from runscott back in June 2007. I will have to check my records to see if this is the cue I got from him. That would make for a small world wouldn't it. DukeofDBQ

I sure wish that were the case. I would have tripled my money!!!! It isn't and investment cue, just one that was unplayed and sort of memorabilia.

Here are four more great playing cues from recognized makers. They just aren't as elaborate as the other cues I have posted in the Cue Gallery. Top to Bottom - Bill McDaniel, Jim Griffin (Norwela), Alex Brick and Dan Prather. McDaniel - This is the Q8 model. Eight ebony points with spear...

These four cues are from recognized makers and are great playing cues. They just aren't as elaborate as the other cues I have posted in the Cue Gallery. Top to Bottom - Jerry Rauenzahn, Kenny Murell, and two Jerry Olivier's. Rauenzahn - A simple 4 points ebony into birdseye. Murell - 6...

These three cues are all 1 of 1's and were made for me by relatively unknown, local cue makers. I provided the primary woods and worked with the maker on the design. All three are great playing cues and you won't go wrong if you work with any of them on a custom cue. Top to Bottom - Bob...

Another quartet of cues from four of the best modern cuemakers. Top to Bottom - Paul Dayton, Jerry McWorter, Paul Fanelli and Richard Black. Paul Dayton - A really striking amboyna burl into ebony cue. Six amboyna points. Ivory-sleeved joint and ringwork of amboyna with ivory/ebony blocks...

I played a lot in the sixties and then took a 40 year sabbatical from pool. When I started playing again, and collecting a few cues, I decided to add a few vintage ones. Top to bottom - Adams/Weir Flying W, Brunswick Willie Hoppe, Adams Quantum, and a McDermott Tournament of Champions. All...

One of my favorite woods is "snakewood". From left to right in first picture: Scott Zachow matched set, Perry Weston, and Ariel Carmeli. Scott Zachow - Eight points, 4 high snakewood and 4 low mammoth ivory, snakewood ivory and silver rings, natural lizard wrap. All white is mammoth ivory...

I am sure this has been covered before, and it probably isn't all that difficult, but I more than a little "computer challenged". What is the best method for adding pics to a thread? Thanks and Best Wishes to all AZers for 2008.

A great morning and Merry Christmas to all AZers. My son ("cannonball" on AZ) had 2 pics of me playing at the Vegas BCA in May enlarged and framed. They look great and will really be a nice addition to my pool room.

As a forum, people exchanging ideas and information, we don't have to sacrifice civility, courtesy and class to attain diversity. Utopia is a myth, an unattainable state, but as intelligent human beings (assuming we are or would like to be) we can certainly conduct ourselves in manner that...

Perhaps my opinion was too strongly worded. Opinions should be epxress and they can be very informative and helpful. I don't think however it is constructive to state opinions in a vulgar, negative or condescending way. This thread started out "..what is with Searing cues..overpriced as...

It seems there have been many, many threads here about cue prices and whether or not a particular cue is overpriced. Perhaps the better question is, "Why, if you are not in the market for a Searing/B. Szam/BlackBoar/Manzino/Cantando/Schick/Tascarella/etc, do you care what is being paid by...

Are there any personal identifiers on the case? Your name, initials, etc? Many of Jack's cases are personalized.

Hear, Hear!!! I don't play to the level of my collection either and it isn't nearly as fine as yours. BUT - my sentiments about collecting fine artwork, in the form of cues, is exactly the same as yours.

Could you please send me a pic of the McDaniel logo on the butt sleeve? Thanks, DukeofDBQ
