Some of you may have seen this on eBay. No, I did not buy it. It was identified as a Paradise cue, which I believe is incorrect, 55 bids went up to $855. If you bought it, please chime in. I am wondering what any of you might make of it. Yes, the pictures suck.

I realize ash snooker cues are made differently from pool cues, with planing rather than a lathe. I thought this video was interesting. I have watched a number of his other videos but this one took me by surprise. I wondered what the cue makers though of this repair.

Joss did the finger joint back in the 1980's. This is the Viking. Old Joss This is a modern Joss core. We recently saw a Schon cue factory tour, I am interested in comparing and contrasting all of what the current makers do. Adam Musashi cues have a square core. I have seen...

Happy Father's Day! I got a nice Father's Day present. Huebler H-B from the Hitters series. The veneers are more red than shown here so I grabbed a couple pics in the sun posted below. Those images don't capture the veneer colors well, so I snapped a couple pics in the sun earlier...

I found this very interesting, not sure I ever heard of it. Since the cue makers are "wood guys" I though to post it and ask for comments. Interesting? Any application in cue making?

Anybody else see this scam on ebay? Cue was listed on Facebook by Classic Cues in 2024, refinished with 3 shafts. They had 2 identical ebay ads for $680. One sold. Cue unrefinished with 2 shafts, one looking not original. Cue crafted for Ned Nordin in 1988. On my phone, couldn't post link...

Hi Cuemakers! I ran across this, I do not own the cue. The cue needs refinished, standard stuff really, I think, but this one issue made me think to ask a question. I have my ideas but am obviously really just a spectator, so I would love to know what those with experience will say. The tip...

Superwood- More than 140 patents. Do you cuemakers know anything about this? Any opinions? Any potential applications in cues? With CF shafts growing in the market, I can't help but root for wood. I know there are processes already, such as kielwood, and the Black Ice Shaft from Pechauer...

I do own and appreciate true good custom cues. This is a different thing. A number of years ago I was researching Steve Mizerak which led to researching some of his business dealings and the "Dove" cue line he had. That led to researching Cobra cues and KaoKao. I had bought a few example...

Nothing high end or custom, but I think it's nice to have these three in such nice condition. You can see from the bumper and logo that the E-H2 is a later model, it also does not have the tulipwood joint ring of the earlier models, and it has a linen wrap. The E-H3 happens to have some really...

HOLD MY BEER! :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: 👍 👍 😁😁 1976 Rich Q, 2x Model 76E and one 76F Now if I can find me one of those McDermott Budweiser cues I will be happier.

I ran across this site. Check out the prices, insanely low. I was searching for info on a cue that sells in the $700 range, and they have it listed for $148. https://www.procuegear.com/ The address is a house in Texas.

So I picked up a nice old Schmelke 2x2 box case in great condition. It was a Dufferin cue for sale, but the case was probably worth more than the cue, so I grabbed it and ended up with the cue too. It is a Dufferin cue, and the finish is cracking all over the butt. I can grab pics tomorrow if...

As the title says. Jet black genuine ebony into BEM. No veneers. Simple cue. Custom or production. Wrap or no wrap. Full splice or short splice. EDIT: Thank you for responses, I am avoiding ivory because of the legal issues. Prefer wrap to be black linen or black leather. Prefer plain...

So, I am making a couple cases. Tube style...Fellini, Centennial, Engles, etc. type case. No, not selling them...yet. Maybe...perhaps...possibly...at some point I will. I have a number of types, textures, and colors of leather and have narrowed my choice down to two. A smooth black...

Anybody know this logo? It is found on some KaoKao cues.

UPDATE 9-21-2025: I was working on a deal to purchase this cue with others. It turns out the cues may not have been owned by the person I was dealing with. The cues were not theirs to sell. No, not stolen really. I won't get into details as it is someone's personal issue. I will leave...

If you have a 1x1 tube case I would love to see it! Post pics! They seem uncommon. These are two 1x1 cases I have. I know I have more but I am still going through cases to see what I have. These just happen to be two I took to the pool hall to carry cues today in addition to my usual 3x6...

Unknown or unidentified or unmarked cues can be a matter of controversy when posting and asking about them. If you think it's stupid or it pisses you off, you might find a more interesting thread to post in elsewhere. Up to you. Have you ever "taken a chance" on a cue? I mean, without asking...

Help me decide the wrap! Leave it as is, or do it in black? (EDIT 8-28-2025: The results of this adventure are posted here- LINK ) I don't know how to do a poll, so just respond in the linked thread. I can leave the wrap as it is, or do it in black. If you want to know what this is all...
