Cue Caps - Before the Renaissance

Thanks for sharing. I would love to see what "other" creations (non pool related) you have made.

Thanks for sharing Alton. Fantastic craftmanship and very original designs, you are truly the JP master.

Hi Alton! You might not remember me, but I was one of your first customers on AZB. If memory serves me, I met you through Ray (digitalcrack) in 2007. You only made me two sets of protectors, but they were awesome. Do you remember the time you got a bad batch of epoxy that made ivory yellow? That was my second set (old Bushka type). You were a standup guy and made me an extra set because you didn't like the way the first ones looked. I told lots of people what a good business man you were and when Bob Aaron asked me who to go to to make caps for his Nova Supercue, I told him all about you. I think you made him a set, didn't you? I still have the second set you made me and I am a proud owner. I am glad you have had such a successful business, and wish you much success in all of your future endeavors!

Here's a couple of pictures of the first set:

Alton;

You are not only an incredible artist but a gentleman of the highest order.

Wishing you a wonderful holiday season and the best for this coming new year and beyond.

best,
brian kc <------ one of your biggest fans

You are extremely talented. Beautiful work.

Alton,
As I have said many times over the years, there is just no one who has ever been
in our cue world that has been willing to toil to achieve the unbelievable work that you do.

Your accomplishments are self evident. The designs take high end custom cues
to another, higher level.
In many cases they are the crowning achievement for some of the cues (no pun intended)..

In my years, I have seen a ton of custom cues that I have immensely enjoyed.
I get the same sense of satisfaction and appreciation when I see your works of art.
(By the way, I really like the cap set on the Vigus box cue!).

The high end custom cuemakers have a genuine appreciation for the degree of difficulty
involved in most of your projects. Simply amazing.

Thanks for sharing some of your pictures.

Hi Alton,
Yes, I chose Cuse as in Syracuse. I'm an Orangemen fan. If you change your mind please contact me and we can get to know each other. I assure you I am not here to kick tires and my money is real. I have done business with others on the forum. Thank you for replying and you do beautiful work. Take care...

These caps for the ivory and turquoise veneered TS have to be the greatest on earth. How they compliment the design is magical...Alton we are not worthy. :bow-down::bow-down:
