I believe that Mark Bear sold some of his blanks, and certainly made his own (great) cues.
Not sure if Ernie Omori sold/sells his blanks, but I have one that he made and Jim Baxter finished.

I believe Schmelke sells blanks. I bet they make them themselves.

Brunswick

Did Brunswick sell blanks?

Did Brunswick sell blanks?

Not that I know of. If they did it may have been to a select few builders back in the early days.
In my opinion the one piece Willie Hoppe cues were considered blanks by many top cue makers. With the number of Hoppes that were produced...they still are!

Here's what Chris says:

"It was also the blank used on the most popular two piece cue of all time, the Willie Hoppe Professional.
Herman Rambow made his customs based on blanks obtained from Brunswick. So did George Balabushka , Frank Paradise, Eugene Balner, Gus Szamboti, and numerous other cue makers over the years. The Titlist is easily the most famous, widely utilized, and easily recognized cue design."
