I am sure you realize that you can only get that ivory(legally) in your home state. The potential fine for an out of state deal should scare the hell out of you and all the rest of us. And we can all thank Mr. Obama for this mess.

I wore out a new set of tires lookin' for a game with somebody like you!

The legs and knees are the most troublesome items for long sessions. Your eyesight diminishes some and requires better concentration on all shots. I had a stroke(medical type) some years ago and now, at different times and with no warning, I get a shake in my cue stroke. Stays a little while...

Thank you for the reply. I have never applied oil pre-CA. With automotive finish, oil is a no, no. I will give your treatment a try.

Do you have a suggestion for an oil that could be applied and how you prepare the cue for the oil application? This is something I hav not previously heard discussed in regards to CA finishes.

No ebony in the Hill Country that I know about. Plenty of mesquite and cedar. Another wood on the Coast you might like is huisache. See lots of it round Rosenberg, Damon, Needville even towards Columbus. Nice red color for heartwood.

I have used Texas Ebony in several cues. It is a great wood for cues, not only for looks but also for good playing qualities. The pieces I had were a nice warm chocolate color. I love it. I have one piece left and am considering making a cue for myself. If you want to call me selfish, go ahead!

Pool in the front part of the place and domino tables in the back potion While you were playing pool there was the constant slam of dominoes on the slate tables and the loud profanities of the domino players. Pool games were 10 cents a rack and there was a rack man. No jukebox till the 60's...

Without doubt, one of his great cues. Are you currently washing windshields at a busy intersection to refurbish your bank account? LOL

Use a narrow-focus flashlight to look for a second weightbolt below the first one that you removed.

Can you tell us what the center section is made of in this setup?

Quit stallin', Dean, and give us the goods!

I believe having the wrap cleaned by John is the best way for you to go. That keeps the cue totally original and the cleaning done by the maker of the cue. If John cannot or will not clean the wrap, then a well know cuemaker like Black, Searing, or Tascarella. If the cue has not sold in 2...

I see all the photos. nice cue

Seems to stick to Texas tournaments for the most part. Would not be surprised to see him listed in Louisiana tournaments, though.

Happy Birthday, RKC. I hope you have many more happy, healthy B-Days!

I have had the procedure on both eyes. You should be very pleased with the results. My only advice is twofold: 1. Research the drs. in your area doing cataract surgery. Some have better reps with their former patients. 2. Follow the post operative instructions regarding the eye drops and...

I remember him. Saw him matched up with Jersey Red at the Cotton Bowling Palace.

If you don't post, don't complain. You set up the opportunity for your opponent to hose you. I have also used Jay's strategy when playing by the game instead of sets. I personally do not know any gambler who has not been air barreled.

Preserve the provenance. Send it back to Bill(after you call him) and ask for a letter to accompany the refinish.
