Hand made, lot of bang for the buck (especially on ebay), only downside is a lot of them warp because of the climate change. If you can get one that stays straight they are a nice cue.
On a side note, he doesn't use machines to face the cues, so you can't expect to pick up a after market shaft and have it face up correctly. This is exactly what he told me. So if you wanted to use say a predator shaft you would want to take it to someone to face both shaft and butt so they align correctly.
