You have a plan. You enjoy having those cues (and the firearms you kept). Your plan is to enjoy life. Those cues and firearms are part of that enjoyment. When that no longer is true, you'll sell them.

As a Winchester and Colt collector, I could substitute 'Winchester Rifle' or 'Colt pistol' in your reply and be spot on. I've no interest in selling guns or cues, but will someday need to think about what to leave behind. Relics or cash?

Very nice. I agree.

John has developed an elaborate spreadsheet whereby he establishes the density of each wood type and then can estimate very closely what the final cue weight will be with different woods for forearm, butt and core. As you point out, the walnut has a relatively low density. In this case, that was...

Wait until you see the Bocote in the next one.

It is much nicer than the photos. It plays very well, which is not a surprise. Check John's site out, and his pricing. I don't think many can touch his quality and price point, maybe none.

The first of two cues John is building for me finally arrived. This one has a burled walnut handle with forearm and butt of Cocobolo. The core is a Lignum Vitae, so it is about 20 ounces. I asked John to make matching joint protectors for both shafts and the butt. These photos do not do...

I had a neighbor years ago confront me about my liberal use of weed killers in my lawn. I told them that as far as I could learn, the only potential harm was that if his wife was pregnant and somehow exposed to my lawn chemicals, their child could be born naked. He never spoke to me again.

Exactly what I would say. Room space is the one commodity which you can't add later.

It made a more funny story when it was an alien sea monster.

Thanks, but I don't do Facebook.

Honestly, don't want to bug him. He's building a cue for me and has said that he only does it as a 'hobby' and didn't want 'needy' customers to ruin it. I don't want to be one of those 'needy customers'. Also wanted to learn what other Coos customers thought of the pins and joints.

John Chaplin of Coos Cues tells me that he has been banned from this site, which is too bad, seems like a very nice guy. Can anyone here tell me what thread size he uses? I saw a photo of one of his brass pins, but no description of size,etc. Thanks!

In My problem with roundabouts is drivers who treat them as red lights. If everyone entered them as 'skid pads' I'd be good with them. Simple concept, certainly. But too many drivers have minds even too simple to grasp the simple concept. Timid drivers are the problem.

I don't see 'gang' or 'drug' related broken out separately in these stats. Question remains.

I assume you are flying within the USA. If so, I wouldn't hesitate to check that bag as you suggest.

I had a couple of those Suburbans with 454 gas engines in the 90's. 3/4 ton chasis, 4WD, really good on the highway and turns, stiff suspension. No idea what my gas mileage was, so obviously it was not a concern. Just ordered a GMC 2500 HD 4WD with 6.6L gasoline. Dealer offered to 'let me off...

That worked for me until all the gun safes were full and there isn't room for another anywhere in the garage or the house. Now any new gun is obvious. Last time I bought one for me and one for the wife. That worked, but it won't work often.
