Wow

Hi guys. Been real busy crafting cues and thinking and finding ways to raise the bar. Too many "everybody wants to be like Mike" here so they just have to keep up. Here's a scrim layout for GForce.


Most impressive. I appreciate it Edwin.
 
More.

I just noticed that the shape of the ivory that frames the scrim. That is incredible. I am excited!
 
Can't wait

I feel stupid, I had no idea that Edwin was a cue maker, I knew him as a promoter only. Amazing cues.


I feel so bad for his family

I was just going to bed the other night for the 2nd time, I woke up not feeling well and was taking care of emails etc. Drank a tea and was just about asleep again when I thought of comming to AZ(I dont cone here as often anymore) just to look at cue pictures-that relaxes me. Anyways I saw the post on the main page that Edwin was shot, I didnt sleep for 3 or 4 hours, I was totally shocked, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I cant remember the last person I know who was murdered-I cant understand how or why people things like this to each other. I dont know why he was shot, perhaps it was a robbery, no matter what its the worst thing possible, I pray his family will be ok, I'm sure they will but my heart goes out to them. All the petty bickering here is stupid when you take a step back and look at this tradgity.


best

and nope I'm not back, however inlight of this tragity I am compelled to post my feelings, but I'm not involved in the day to day chatter here anymore, I still appericate my friends here and enjoy looking at cues.

best to everyone, even you Hu.
 
So long Master Edwin.

You will have your vengeance, not in this lifetime but the next...
 
I met Edwin at is home in manila during the WTBC 08 and he did a leather wrap on my jeff olney cue.It really hurts more when u have met the person and have had a relation with him.He was really kind and genreous to me.I feel sad for his family and hope some day we all will rise up from being stupid and killing each other.:o:o:angry:

Wow! I REALLY like the design of the cue in your signature. Beautiful work! I like the recessed, carved ivory buttsleeve.

You must be very proud to own such a beauty!

Yes, that cue is amazing...as is the matching Justis case. However, 'gopi-1' does not own this cue...it belongs to a former AZer who was banned here several years ago.

The owner has decided not to make a fuss over the unauthorized use of the pictures, as he feels it is in tribute to Edwin's memory. As are many of us; he is still in utter shock over his untimely passing.

I have a another Er coming to me, I bought it before he died. It was in shipping when he passed. I will post it when it gets here.
 
no idea if it was intentional

but the link in the bottom of his thread takes a viewer back to the start of this thread. Full circle almost.

speaking for myself, and I am sure a lot of people reading the threads over Edwin's murder, and reading his old posts as I have, and the news reports, presnet and past ...... I know more about him now than I ever did. And can empathize with his family and friends. It sounds like almost everyone in the pool world was a friend, in his eyes.
 
A cue Edwin made for a friend of mine.
