I've owned one of Travis's cues for a few years and i'm really impresed with the workmanship. It's only a simple six pointer but the point work is absolutly perfect and plays great.

Please post your pics of your Blackcreek cues as the ones I've seen coming out of Travis's shop recently have really blown me away. I think he's going to become one of the great cue craftsman of these times.

Here's a pic of my simple cue.

Truer words have never been spoken. I stop by Travis' booth every year at the Expo. Along with Eric...Travis and the gentlemen at Carolina...they're some of the finest gentlemen I've ever had the privelege of being acquainted with.
 
I recently sold this one:

The pics do not accurately represent the beauty of that cue.
The purpleheart is a deep, dark brownish-purple and the cue is a fantastic player.
Travis' work is incredibly clean.

I'd have kept that cue, but wanted the cash to put toward this Ed Young.
 
Out of ALL the cues I've bought/sold through the years (hundreds) there's only 2 that I regretted selling:

1. An early JW that I ordered from Billy in 1976, then traded in 1982. This cue recently found it's way back to me.

2. A Merry Widow coco BLACKCREEK. Played with this cue off/on for about 1-year, nice kid at the pool room fell in love with it and and I sold it to him. SWEEEEEET playing cue, that Blackcreek. Still miss it.

THAT'S how nice Blackcreeks play!
