Hello everyone, I am looking to find all of the resources available for veneer vendors that are used in cue making. I have found Atlas, Prather, and one other vendor with pictures of their colors on line. I vaguely remember an AZ Member posting that they had veneers for sale somewhere a while...

Blue inlays and veneers... Hello, I also like blue, but I prefer a cobalt blue. I guess it is more purple than blue, but that is debatable. My cue has a double Royal Blue veneer used in the v-groove points as well as Lapis inlays. My jp's also use royal blue veneers. If you compare the two...

thanks to all... :thumbup:I will look those places up. Many thanks for the ssuggestions. Some of my wife's family lives here, so it will be nice to get a change of venue every so often. Jeremy

Hi all, I am on my way out the door for a road trip and didn't have time to do a full search... Where is a good spot to play near Tampa, just north of the city?? We are going to stay in Riverview a few days. I can drive maybe a half hour or so to go to a decent hall. If the tables and...

DP's Shop... to ChopDoc If his shop is in the same location as it was when I stopped in several years back, it is in a medium/small building in a business loop off of Wells road in Orange Park. He had a few machinist's lathes there at that time. That is all I saw from the front entry area. I...

systems... I tend to agree with Scott on what a system is supposed to do. For me it gives me an opportunity to practice a method that helps develop a feel for what is correct to pocket the ball. Eventually, one relies less on the "system" and just starts doing things naturally or by feel. I...

Parallel lines... Thanks for the clarification. I will have to look into it further. I am working on my aim, as my game has suffered recently due to work and college. Every option helps. I personally think I just need to play more, as I am not as confident as I used to be with how the shots...

Have you tried using paper holes??? Set up a dead "ghost ball" /object ball pair so that they point at the pocket you intend to practice. Mark both the object and ghost ball locations where they rest on the felt with the paper holes. Imagine the Cue Ball's resting point lining up with the...

new stuff from Bob... Hi all, I have been looking at some of Bob's in process pics on his site. He is doing some great work with a 6 point cue and a matching set of JP's (points and all...) I hope he posts a pic on AZ or that the new owner does. His work is phenomenal.

nail in the coffin of a dead thread... Well, thank you to all who steered me in the direction to look or provided pictures. I had no idea that such a simple question would birng about such drama. I was only looking for in-process pics or pics of finished cues; I should have been a bit more...

keep'em coming THanks to all the replies so far. I was not trying to be political, I guess that is the nature of the subject. I was actually referring to the sky line. I thought it would be nice to have some neat inlays of the buildings. Scrimshaw is great too.

To everyone/cue makers: Has anyone thought of or done a 9/11 cue with the Twin Towers? I would like to see pics if there happens to be one in the works. I am listening to the 09/11 show on TV and thought about it... I thought it would be a nice theme as long as it is tastefully done. The new...

nice.... That is a nice looking cue... It looks like it should go fast according to the discount/sale price. I love the wood/color combination and the inlays. GLWS. Jeremy

edit feature... I noticed it as well. Sticks and stones... LOL

good video... for you cuemakers that are hand tapping... here is a video from MIT that seems to cover threading with a tap pretty well. Any comments on if this is a good method for cues?? the tapping is the first section of the video and starts at approximately 1 minute into the vid. I would...

ring ring... Wow, If I counted them correctly, there are 15 rings at each location. That must have taken quite a while and demanded the utmost attention to detail and patience...superb. The rings reminded me of a snake skin pattern:thumbup:. Cool work to say the least. very nice cue you...

sounds exactly the same... ditto... let me know what you find. Have you noticed that centerball percieved is not center ball achieved? I am also tired of closing one eye to double check my line of aim. I sent a PM also ... hope you get good results. Do you wear glasses as well? (I hate the...

It should be "the nuts" when done...couldn't resist;) Very nice woods there on the posts. That is the first time i've seen burl Pink Ivory. WOW

Hello everyone... Here are 4 pics of my set of JP's Jim Baxter did for my DZ custom cue. I had to borrow a camera...that is why the pics are late. The pics were taken today and show some minor wear on the JP's as they have been used for a few weeks (they are doing their job). The colors...

Twitch a little bit maybe... but probably not much pivot.
