In 2001 when the govt handed out tax rebates I took the opportunity to order a custom cue. I asked the cuemakers on RSB (rec.sport.billiard), given my specs, who would make me a cue. The result was a great cue made by Murray Tucker that I still have, and use, today.
So assuming I get a rebate this year who, on this board, wants to make me a cue? I am looking for a relatively simple styled cue with a darker colored wood forearm like cocobolo or zircote or rosewood or ?, points with veneers preferred. I like ringwork. Inlays are ok as long as they dont have rounded edges and are uncluttered/simple (see avatar). I prefer to look at the wood rather than the inlays.
Normally go with wood to wood for a joint, but flexible. Wood handles (aka wrapless) work for me as long as it complements the rest of the cue.
The dimension specs are fairly standard.
Any takers or recommendations?
