I have a four point four veneer wrapless Bob Frey, with Rosewood points, handle and butt sleeve... pics can be seen here. its nothing too fancy as far as customs go... but i love the rosewood, and the veneers - it has a superb hit. The sound of the hit is really really nice too, between the...

whoever is wrong should donate one tim scruggs cue to the dude. thank you.:D that sounds like a great bet!

i hear paul bunyan and his ox run a tight joint.

I love those veneers... very similar to the veneers on my frey. Beautiful cue...

Welcome to az... nice I have one of you jacoby jump cues, but rarely use it as I play mainly one pocket or straight pool. I shoot with a Bob Frey cue now, but used to shoot with Jacoby i bought used... I took a couple year hiatus from pool, and the jacoby butt had warped on me(all fault of my...

Playing for small stake I always let each person pay their own time. This happens often, there is a pool hall nearby that I don't really care for... but they have decent tables and nice daily rate whereas my preferred pool hall jut has a flat hourly rate. In anycase, at the one with the nice...

I think that the person who actually turned the shafts should have been mentioned in th original post. However, since the recieving parties seem to be happy with the quality of the shafts, I don't think a refund is do. Personally, I probably would just avoid doing business with the seller in...

thanks. I forgot a vital word... brazilian. im sure there are a lot of variables. I have a friend who has a really old gibson guitar with brazilian rosewood. the guitar has been passed through the family, and my friend's dad is an accomplished wood worker who is just now beginning to build...

Will rosewood in a cue darken over the years as a cue ages?

i would think that if you found shafts of the same joint diameter, and pin type... a cue repairman should be able to match of up the ringwork. could be wrong... but don't think this should be a problem.

that cue is just plain sick looking!

When I turn my instroke buffalo upside down, the cues fall out... I put in my 10 dollar dufferin cue and did the test on my bed with the butt, and shaft seperately(so then didn't clatter against each other; yes, I even love the cheap cues.) Their quality control must have gone down since you...

Big business was a bad phrase, as I doubt there is any real big business in pool. But lets keep it simple. I live in Ohio. Dennis Swift lives in Kentucky. I'd rather keep my money close to home, and to the more experienced casemaker. :wink: Not to mention he is very nice individual, and not an...

I'm not saying that the gel pack won't do damage, I'm just saying that the gel pack will do damage through a different series of events then what you stated. We'll just have to agree to disagree... And in reality, I'm agreeing that the silica pac will contribute to damage, I just think that the...

Rapid heating and cooling are going to cause the cue to expand and contract. Sitting you cue in extreme temperatures is a much different scenario, then simply a case with a silica gel packet. I don't think it is possible for silica gel to literally suck the moisture out of the cue. The moisture...

Silica packages are intended to reduce water vapor. how much water could be in my cue in the form of gas? :D

What kind of joint are looking for? I've seen a lot of his veneered steel jointed cues come up for good prices. Haven't really seen many veneered big pin cues from him for sale on here... 4 point 4 veneered wrapless, and it plays lights out... You could always contact Mr. Frey or JP. I don't...

I'm on the 3rd DVD. What I like about the long version, is you really get to see two great players tackle eachothers differing styles over a long long match. He may be a ball or so from his peak, but Ronnie Allen is still a pleasure to watch. Its nice to look at the Robin 1-hole books while...

Try sending a message to JP Nusbaum, or hitting up his site cuesnthings.com for his email address. He should be able to put in contact.

Had two shafts changed to ivory ferrules, work done by Dick Neighbors. Excellent work. The ferrules are capped, and have pads as recommend by Mr. Neighbors. Tried them out for a few hours tonight, definitely a lot more lively of a feel. I really enjoy the new ferrules so far. Of course, this...
