When I was talking to Steve, he mentioned he just posted some "Fedunka's"..
I thought he got new cues from Europe.....
I did not know who Mike Fedunka was.. So I did a fast search..
For those who don't know Mike Fendunka, I found this from the 'net. :
Mike built cues in NJ for approximately 25-30 years. He worked for various cuemakers in NJ, as well as building his own cues.
In the beginning his cues were modeled after Palmer, and Paradise, in his later years they started to resemble Gus Szamboti cues.
He purchased Gus blanks and some of his cues have been mistaken for Gus Szamboti cues due to the design similarities.
Mike had a hand deformity and despite this handicap, made cues that were very well done and very clean.
Mike was partners with Karl Mayer and the company was briefly known as M and F cues, Elizabeth NJ. Mike passed away in 1994.
They do "Capture the Era"..
Nice pick-up Steve .. Thanks for posting..
Nice restoration Mr. Klein...
Alton :smile:
Thanks for posting this because I wasn't familiar with this cue maker either. His cues look great and Steve has three nice examples of his work posted here. My favorite type of cue is the traditional designs and these are right up my alley!
