David Barenbrugge came to me in need of instruction in the art of cue building I think in 1996 or so. A year later he had perfected his saw jig to cut four point fronts from squares, just like GUS did and I gave hime 200 pieces of BE MAPLE that was then at least 12 years old and he proceeded to make a lot of sawdust. When the dust had settled we split the finished product 50/50 with only about 5% worthless. These are the last sixteen that I have and they are for sale. Bidding starts at $800 for that lot which would include shipping to any point in the continental US.
