I have a very picky customer who wishes to have a Cocobolo pen made for him. All the blanks I have in stock are not what he's looking for. He wants "Maximum swirl patterns, oranges, whites, greens, and purples." As a first effort, I thought I'd check here. If anyone has such a blank, or blanks...

Does anyone have tips on working with Snakewood? I got a piece of it in hopes of making a pen as a retirement gift. I've read a lot of the horror stories, but not too many tips. Drill blanks long so you avoid blowouts and drill a little then rest for 20-30 min. Other than that, I've not seen...

Does anyone have any 3/4" diameter scrap delrin laying around? Thank you.

Can anyone help ID this piece I found while going through a firewood pile?

I've recently gotten into pen turning. I've gotten some blanks from flebay and I thought I'd try another source. If any cue makers have any scrap wood laying around ( 3/4" x 5" would be great) they'd like to get rid of, I'd like to buy some. Please PM or post pictures. Thanks in advance.

My wife and I are looking to join a handicap league together. She has never played in one before, and I've finally talked her into trying. Anyone in my area play in one that's looking for 2 players for a Wednesday or Thursday night? Since my wife hasn't played in a league, or much pool at...

I wanted to thank Neil for a seamless transaction we had. I see a lot of posts about not buying from this person or that. I thought it would be a breath of fresh air to acknowledge a smooth sale. After settling on a price, I purchased a Jacoby Edge Hybrid shaft from Neil on 4-17. Neil...

I figured a cuemaker would know and have the best input on this. Would a rack with the rubber(?) clips on them harm a cue in any way? The picture below are ones like I'm talking about. Thanks for any replies.

I'd like to make this into something to replace tips and shaft cleaning. Does this sound like a good deal? Thoughts or advice in doing so, other than buying one that's already intended for cue repair? http://harrisburg.craigslist.org/tls/3637098491.html Thanks to all that reply

I've attached some pictures of an old McDermott cue I have. It's a very plain cue. It has no points but shoots really well. Can anyone tell me anything about it? Thanks in advance.

I ordered and finally received a new jump/break cue last night. I had a white diamond tip installed with hopes of it staying attached. When I unpacked it, I noticed it had been shaped to what looks a dime radius. I've never had a break tip shaped like this, so it brings me to the question of...

When I searched for this, it brought up a few articles from many years ago. Has anyone had any recent experience using these tips on their jump/break cue?

I have a Brunswick Bristol that currently has a ball return system installed. The problem I have is where the balls come back. The opening is pretty small. My hands aren't the smallest, so I have some troubles getting the balls out. With that said, I'd like to put in drop pockets. I...

Looking for some help ID'ing these 2 cues. Looking for general info, model, age, approx. value..... They're both Jacoby branded. However, the shafts are not interchangeable. I've shown pictures of the shafts changed around and the gap it leaves. I do have more pictures if needed. Any help...
