The picture does a great job of showing the difference but at the same time, the information is wrong. The one on top is White Fir, it's a real crappy wood that grows fast, often found at Home Despot and Lowes. The second photo can be debated but it's most likely Hemlock. Some may say it's...

There is no such thing as Lakewood or Lake wood. Please don't misunderstand, I really appreciate all that you just said but I don't want our wonderful readers and lurkers to begin searching for something that does not exist. Before log trucks, many lumber companies would float their timber...

What is Lakewood? Best way to cure a log? Put it in a pond or lake for a few years.

Brian, Thanks very much for taking the time to write these things. I must say, it was not the first Linen wrap but it was the first one I sent to a customer and didn't feel right about charging for it. It took 8 years before I finally did one and now they have become a favorite. Same with...

The two words are,,, GOT PICTURES? Or they are F OFF. F stands for FUN, Fun off everyone, it's a wonderful Monday.

Great idea, Pool has been around longer than Football, Basketball, Baseball or Hockey.

Rest in Peace Michael,

Very wrong, the topic is clearly male in female sports, think hard here. What else can we count on? Young ones, no old folk doing these things. What did I just prove to you? It's not the "Days of our Lives." It's the "Young and the Breastless."

Very sorry to hear this. The Prather name will always be in the Cue Makers' Hall of Fame, well deserved.

Very sad day to hear this Michael, words are beyond me at this moment. You're one heck of a unique and great Artist, I would love to post your work, it inspired me in an odd way, Thanks for that.

Nice to see this old thread come back to life, reminds me of the 100 year old cues I convert now and then. I have one from around 1905 and the wood is fantastic after a recut. I also have in my collection the real Cue of the future, yes you guessed it, Aluminum. M ade A luminum,,,, P layers...

That is a Dog scan, best used before a first date. I believe he meant a Cat scan, I will not use my dirty mind to describe it,

Good morning Michael, good to hear from you.

6"? Wilt the stilt? 6"? And he got all the ladies he could handle? OK, maybe you meant 72"

Nearly every cue I make is 60" and sold before I start on it. It's rare any more that someone wants anything shorter. A 60" cue I made four years ago just won another tournament in Santa Cruz, CA. I was told that there was some real good talent from many parts of Northern California. I am...

The Greenie approves of your message.

New shop? Great fun, keep up the good work.

How about paying for the Gold membership? :-)) I believe that people using AZ for their sales should pay for the Gold, I do and I have never listed a single cue here.
