    New Cue Makers?

    Have a look at John Chaplin of Coos Cues. Go to https://rumble.com/c/c-1297894 to have a look at his videos, which are entertaining and informative. Or www.cooscues.com.

    Where's Cocobolo Cowboy?

    I tried to follow this thread while traveling out of the country for the past 10 days. I never saw any definitive answer to the original question on 'what happened to Cocobolo Cowboy'. I certainly hope that he's OK. Did anyone hear from him directly?

    One Piece Cue

    Over 25 years ago I bought a set of 4 Dufferin one-piece 'house cues' along with a new table and Centennial balls.

    Maybe this is one question that has never been asked.

    The weather sucks, otherwise it’s great! Most non-Nevadans automatically think of Las Vegas when they think of Nevada. For many, Las Vegas is all they've seen or experienced of Nevada. But the awful weather isn't just the heat of Las Vegas. This was my patio this morning after an hour with...

    It is very sad. Downtown Reno in the 70's and 80's had a classiness and charm which Las Vegas never achieved. But it is a bleak place now.

    What does Merry Widow mean in a cue ?

    Nice! Is that one in the center from one of John's creations from Coos Cues?
