Don't know for sure but I heard he Retired to Hawaii a couple of years ago.
I have a new Bella Sera I bought in 2008 I think from Wayne at the Hopkins Valley Forge Show....I didn't even need the Cue, I truly only bought the cue from Wayne after talking to him and thinking he was such a nice human being
I felt like I wanted to help him out. It was a Rough show that year and he had commented on how bad sales had been for most of the cue makers that were there.
One thing for sure about Wayne...
He could of cared less if I bought a cue or not
because he took the time which was about 1 full hour to talk to me and be a true professional in every way. The thing that was unreal was not once did he even ask me if I was interested in one of his cues...He acted like just talking and helping another person learn something about the business was good enough for him. Buying the cue was my idea as a way to say Thank You to him for taking time out be a real person with class and not just some pushy cue maker trying to sell me a cue.
Thanks......Paul
