    OMG, the things I see on faceflop and the people who chimed in with agreement.

    "If you've never been able to indulge in the spicey aromatics of fresh cut Cocobolo, you ain't lived.." Yes, the statement above came from a Cuemaker and I am not interested in naming the person. In the comments, people were bragging about wood boogers, weird stuff for sure. Bad advice is...

    Guess the wood in this old Brunswick cue

    Winner gets nothing, well ok, you get an Atta Boy. This one had a wrap since new, I will show the pics with the wrap removed, it's a stunning difference. (Not the Maple above the points, just what surrounds the label and runs to the veneers.) Smile, it's a wonderful Sunday.

    Possible shipping help.

    Yesterday I was reading about a wonderful cuemaker who lost two cues at Christmas while shipping with USPS. He said they were insured, he got paid but like all good business people, his concern was his customers, not himself. I thought to my self, in nearly ten years, I have not lost one...

    Secret sauce recipe I thought I would share.

    Go dead, not live. One small drop of BLO. I thought I was the only one doing it and then Bill Stroud chimed in here once and said that's how he always did it. Use your dead center with a small drop of Boiled Linseed Oil and the end of your shaft will become burnished, the oil will absorb...

    The Trump Cue.

    This is a non political post, it's only to show the image that appeared in a Pool Cue I am making. The image is natural, not touched up in any way and it looks like President Trump. I tried to upload some pictures but couldn't get them to load at all, done many in the past but something went...

    Show your oldest wraps

    I have been thru some of the old original Brunswick cues made between 1905-1939. It's amazing how the wraps are still intact. Sure the leather falls apart as you try to remove it. The thick rope falls apart as well if you try to remove it. Look at how thick the rope was back then compared...

    Figured Narra, aka New Guinea Rosewood.* *Sale/Trade.

    Figured Narra, aka New Guinea Rosewood, Sale/Trade. It's figured thru and thru and every inch of the wood you would get is usable. The grain is mostly straight. They are 1 3/8" squares or rounded once. As you know, when it comes to this wood it can be described in many ways, plain, figured...

    Pool Cue Shaft Grading Specs.

    Often times here on the fantastic AZBilliards, the grade of the shaft is determined in different ways. If it was from a legendry builder, it’s a great shaft, if it plays great, it’s a great shaft (true), so and so said it’s a great, it’s old growth and therefore a nice shaft. Wouldn’t it...

    Brunswick tables near Seattle.

    Some hi end Brunswick tables near Seattle. He may have some parts for old tables as well, he's restored them for years and is now retiring. I have been in that room and the cues on the wall would be worthy of a nice thread here, they are all old Brunswick cues. Many other nice Brunswick...

    A two part thread, name the wood and some self help.

    In the pictures, there are three items, one is to treat all problems and make things better, the others are to help your back, neck, shoulders and so on. The cue was made between 1925-1939, it’s a Brunswick. (Of course when I get done with one, I should call it a Brainswick.) I have dozens...

    Misplaced threads, legends deserve better.

    This was placed in the "Ask the Cuemaker" section and I believe it should be on the front page. Dan Prather and Chris Hightower inducted into the International Cuemakers Hall of Fame Dan Prather was inducted into the deceased category of the International Cuemakers Hall of Fame. Dan was born in...

    Balls, $15,000.00

    Yup, on Crackslist right now, Poorland Oregon. The listing says they were made in 1896 and that they are Ivory. Although I have a set just like them, I do not believe mine are Ivory but I could be wrong. Any experts here? If they are not Ivory, hmmm, I hate to see someone spend that much...

    Makita variable speed router, stuck on hi, anyone seen this before?

    I have two of them and this one gets the roughest job, turning squares to round in one pass. After 7 years, it's stuck on extreme hi setting and will not slow down. Never run them when they do this, it's far above the RPM that the router bits can handle. If anyone has experienced it and...

    Found my dream Table, best of the best.

    The best tables are the ones that bring smiles to those who play them. These three guys started Diamond Tables and they have been there ever since, ok, just kidding but you have to admit, they are having fun.
