As a follow-up on the signatures of Davis cues, I just spoke with John’s wife Barbara on the phone. I mentioned how different the signatures were, and asked if he had signed them all… She laughed and said “I was with John for 27 years and got lots of cards from him. I was always thinking “who...

Her signing some could explain the wild variations. Yours is quite fancy for a Davis. Nice work on those rings. I think there is a maturity in his work that develops after that initial comeback year of 2007 judging by what I’ve seen. Seems as though the details are better executed. But I’m only...

Very, very nice. Don’t think I’ve seen a wrapless Davis before. The silver rings really elevate the design without overpowering the simplicity of it. I’m not normally a wrapless fan, but this one speaks to me for some reason. And…we can all actually read that the cue is dated November, 2009, so...

Hello all, First post here. It’s been nearly 10 years since I touched a cue, but the topic came up recently with my brother, and looking back I noticed that (unfortunately) John Davis had passed away back in 2018. Viewing some posts at that time, I noticed that he had only made somewhere near...
