I build cues in Toronto Ontario, I'm going to be trying to post regularly on my Instagram of work in progress, experiments and anything interesting or billiard related.

Factory defects mostly, cracks, huge sugar marks, warped, missing inlays or poor indexing. More work to finish then they will be worth once completed. I did keep a lot of cues more then I'll ever be able to finish in my lifetime.
If I do ever find the Cue I have to assume the person playing with it or who has it at that time didn't take it. I'll ask how and who they got the cue from, also explain that they can give these details to the police when they get here. I always have the police report number handy.
