Always loved Chester's cues, and as it seems like I see them more and more rarely, just posting a thread to show off Chester's work. I think this one was from the 1998 timeframe......I don't know who ran it, but I got it from a dealer running onthehill.net who was great to work with (me being a poor college kid at the time), and ran a program with tradeins where I think he guaranteed trade in value of a cue you bought from him towards an upgrade.
My sense of Chester's cues......great finish, nice style, great playability. Mine I am showing off has inlays and ringworm that are characteristic of many other cues he made, but I have never seen another close to this one tuxedo design.
If you have a CK, let's see it.

That cue is so beautiful. I remember visiting onthehillcues website a lot, when I was a kid, back in the 90's, and always loved looking at the Chester Krick cues, because I thought they were so beautiful.
I purchased several cues from that site during the mid to late 90's, but they were lower end customs / sneaky pete cues.
Anyways, always dreamed of having a Chester Krick cue back in those days, but they were expensive, and never had the money for one.
It is sad that the website went out of business, because I always enjoyed browsing cues on there.
Anyways, very beautiful cue. I imagine it hits super nice.

Chester Krick sadly passed away, but I am not sure when.
I remember his cues from a site called onthehillcues, back in the 90's, and they were pretty pricey for that era.
If I remember correctly, a merry widow type of Chester Krick cue was in the $500 price range, and the prices went up from there.
His cues were so beautiful. Always enjoyed looking at them, but could never afford one.

I watched Chester build cues for many years. Would hang out at his shop and talk about pool and cues or the latest piece of machinery he was building. Could never afford one of his cues back then. I watched him make one cue for almost a year. When it was done it wasn’t just a cue but a true work of art. Then he handed it to me and said it’s yours. That was back 1999 I still have it today and it’s still one of the best looking cues I have ever seen.Here are a couple pics
