actually the last time I was in Paul's shop (couple months ago) he had started cutting up a BIG block of snakewood and was coring pieces to make into cues. He had one nice looking forend he'd done over a 6 year period and on the last turn it had split. He likes the look but hates its'...

this was on e-bay last week. i told him if i could use paypal to let me bid. he "says" the cue is his friends and is overseas. this is a scam and E-bay has been pulling his items off their site everyweek. he told me he wanted $1200 if I was interested because the last buyer backed out. it was...

looks like the Searing got pulled off tonight. I sent the guy a question and never heard from him although e-bay got back to me giving me a heads up theat it was a possible fraud.

That's a nice plain cue and I'd love to buy it but I HATE predator shafts. :( NEVER could hit well with one even after 3 months of playing with one. Oh well, maybe next time.

After talking to the man face to face for several hours I must say I find that hard to believe. I'm not saying you're wrong but I for one would have to hear the whole story. He adamently stands behind all his work and if it wasn't done correct he considers it "firewood" and will rebuild it from...

I just picked up my Dayton about last weekend and it's great. Took me a few days to get totally used to the hit but I'm getting better with it and am very happy. The cue is beautiful and the finish and workmanship is top notch. Only one issue with it, and it doesn't matter to me, is that one of...

Finally got my custom cue from Paul Dayton today. I'll post pictures soon. Just want to say that the finish is great, points sharp and it plays great (wish I did but that's another issue ;) ). Only one minor issue with the cue, one of the 4 points is 1/8" longer than the other 3. I'm not...

Sounds like you're doing good then Blud. That's a very fair price for 1 ouncers. The last 100oz bar I bought was at 7.35 an ounce so 7.50 for 1 oz rounds is a good deal. :) Sheldon, wish I could name a supplier for you but I really have no idea on buying it in that form. I buy for investment...

Blud, The silver rounds I spoke of are 1 oz pure .999 fine silver round coins minted by numerous different companies. Since it's pure silver it's as soft as it can be. I don't make cues and I know your reputation for being an excellent maker. I figured with the machine tools that most of...

Not being a cue smith but being someone who buys and sells precious metals, those prices are HIGH. You can buy 1 oz silver rounds for 8 dollars all day and they are soft enough that you should have no trouble turing then in your lathe or using a mill to cut out inlays. In the end you'll wind up...

sorry about getting off topic but hey, what's a good friendly forum for anyway? :D

Deer does have a different taste than beef. The one thing is that you can't just throw it on the grill like a normal steak. I eat deer year round and have converted people that said they'd never eat it again. You must marinate it, I usually leave it in my favorite marinades for a couple of days...

I'm not a professional refinisher but I am into guns more than billiards. I can say with certainty that one of the nicest and most desirable gunstock finishes is a hand rubbed oil finish. It keeps the wood nice ofr the lifetime of the gun. Also, good quality wood furniture is recommended to be...

I'd like to see Rodney take it. :)

Doesn't Allison Fisher live there? She used to when I did.

I have a nice Falcon Banff 7 I've been trying to sell. I'd be interested in trading for the Schon if you'd like to do that. http://www.azbilliards.com/vbulletin/upload/showthread.php?t=13572

if I didn't have a cue being made right now that is going to be almost identical to that i'd take it in a heartbeat. you caught me a month and a half too late. damn!!

congrats on the new cue Shorty. hope it's a good one. J :)

PM sent to you. Thanks. Jason :)

I've never even thought about using buck antlers as a ferrule. Interesting. I usually take 2 to 4 buck a year hunting and make lamps or other things with the horns. Maybe this year I'll give one to my cue maker and see what it hits like. I personally haven't tried a whole lot of different...
