Just thought I would post some pics of cues done for me by David Brainard at CuesDirectly, who posts on here. I sent him a batch of old cues and had two converted for me:
1- An interesting Purpleheart 26 1/2 from the 1920's that had a birdseye forearm.
2- a 1940's Titleist I believe is a lighter color rosewood with some pretty figure.
We worked on a simple, classic Hoppe design with rings. These two cues were very difficult to work with. There were warp and weight issues. Dave was able to get them straight and to the correct dimensions and weight for me (19 ounces) . His shaft wood is excellent - both of these cues play great and they feel exactly the same - solid. I am adding reproduction decals when I get time.
Dave is a hard working guy who starts at only about $300 for a basic conversion if you bring your own, or about $400 - $500 if he supplies the blank. These are super prices. He takes a few months because he lets the wood cure and acclimate. He's also a good source for reasonable, great playing cues. Check out my cues.
