I'm beginning to wonder if I'm crazy ever since I got on this forum I have bought several cues ... I know somewhere I need to slow down I can't possibly use them all... I have a deep love for a great looking cue I prefer a Schon but since I came here I have got into the world of customs. I have had several built or in the process of being built. Several I designed myself like the ones Jimmy Lee and Doug Patrick and Leon Sly are building me ... Some I saw and realy like, like the one Joe Baker sold to me ... Jeff Eason is building me one we designed together and a J/B that is something of a cross between Jeff's , Leon Sly's and my idea's ... I also designed a Sneaky Jeff made me ...
I have talked to several ... Eddie Wheat was very pleasant and full of energy and you could tell the guy really wants to build a cue to please his customers. He is full of helpful advise and always looking out for his customers best intrests ...
Jeff Eason and I have become best friends he is either at my house on my table or I'm at his house watching him work and asking a 1000 questions ... I could not have a better friend then Jeff Eason ... The guy is fantastic... Not to mention he does all my up keep on my cues ...lol...
Doug Patrick has been awesome to deal with also ... He has been loaded down with work since the expo and is turning out an excellent product. He was the very first one to whom I asked to build me a cue ... I am still waiting on pics to see how it is coming but he keeps me updated ... And he calls me to see how I'm doing or ask questions about the cue ...
Joe Baker was a awesome guy to deal with he built a very nice cue that hits lights out and looks very fancy and nice. Joe takes alot of pride in his work and I'm proud to own one of his cues ...
I got to talk to masonh via pm the other night and he put me on his list... The man is very busy I can wait 1 1/2 year to 2 years maybe it will give me time to get what all I got in the works finished up ...lol...
Koinnkid is not a cue builder but he is a cue seller and one of the best on AZ he was the first one I worked a deal with ... He is my favorite seller and if I need something I don't hesitate to ask him... He is super nice guy and has a large slection of supplies and cues to deal you ... Just no cuetex bowties ...lol...
As I said Jeff Eason is my best friend and I will always have some work for Jeff ... But the two guys on here that have really impressed me and who I will be doing most of my future business with are Jimmy Lee ... And Leon Sly, aka... Sly Master, aka ... Sly Dawg, ...,aka Georgia Peach...lol.. ,
Jimmy is buidling me a custom of my own design I can't begin to tell you how hard he has worked to make me happy... Not one request have I made that he did not allow and look forward to doing ... PM's, phone calls ,pictures , plenty of updates ... anything and everything is what Jimmy is willing to do for you ... He turns out quality work and is very reasonable on his prices. Like Jeff Eason I feel I have found a friend in Jimmy Lee and can hardly wait to get this cue he is building for me ... I'm already in the planning stages of another cue I want Jimmy to start on by the end of the year...
Leon Sly ... The guy is a master who turns out awesome work ... Leon was one of my first choices to build a cue for me so I PM'ed him and his reply was an apologetic I'm sorry right now I have to many cues to build and I'm turning more to high end cues... Then about a week ago he calls me up out of the blue and we talked for a couple hours... This guy had me laughing so hard it was unreal... He is from Maryland and talks just like my Uncles and family up in PA... By the time I hung up I had him commited to building me a quilted maple cue I had been planning to get made... He has called every night since then just to B.S. and talk about whatever ... we spend a hour or so laughing until our sides are about to bust... He is what Jeff Eason refers to as his mentor and has been helping Jeff get started in making cues. The three of us have become friends and Leon is even planning a trip down here to visit.... Last night I bought a awesome looking Sneaky from him ... Hoppe style with a Coco joint Leon swears coco jointed cues " Are the nuts and monster players" I'm about to find out...
Man we were laughing so hard on the phone last night ... Leon could'nt stop and neither could I ... I had something on the stove I had forgot because I was enjoying the conversation so much ... When I got off the phone I Pm'ed my good friend Jeff Eason and went to bed about 20 mins later Leon was calling again... Good thing he did I went to the kitchen and the smoke was so thick I about got choked out ... Thats bad when you enjoy talking to someone so much about pool and cues and whatever that you forget what your doing and almost burn your home down ... Let's see I have Leon building me the quilted maple cue ... He is sending me the coco willie hoppe style cue and we have a third cue in the planning stages... All of these customs from these guys I will hold onto...
I'm not even going mention BHQ who is building me a JB and has been just as awsome to deal with ....
I have really enjoyed AZ and the people here ... These are most of the cue makers I have dealt with ... Jimmy Lee and Leon will get most of my work from now on though there may be others I try out from time to time ... I am very happy with Leon and Jimmy ...
So tell me am I crazy ... In need of a doctor ... Or just in love with good looking cues ???
