Calling all cue makers/ builders!!!

[Cuemaster98]

These are custom full splice and exotic blanks that we carry on our website. We will have new stock arriving in late fall and will be pre-selling all of our full splice blanks models with purpleheart, cocobola and ebony based wood as well as South American Rosewood. If you are interested in any of these models, please check them out www.customcuesandtips.com.

Over the last 6 months, we have been working on our new site, www.makeacue.com. Due to the many requests that we have received from individual wishing to have a custom cue built for them using our blanks. We have decide to built a dedicated sites that allow our prospective client who wish to have a custom cue built with our blanks be able to select from a database of custom cue builders who carry our blanks or can take orders to build custom cues from our blanks. If you are you are are a custom cue builder and would like to become part of our database, please email me your contact information. You don't have to stock our blanks, just be able to build a cue per requirements from our clients. Our goal is to build a centralize site where anybody can create the cue of their dream.

Please check our site in July, www.makeacue.com, where you will find a list of our clients who will be more than happy to provide you with a quote for your custom cue order. www.makeacue.com will be our central site that will facilitate custom order cues.

We have several example of custom cues built using our blanks by many of our clients. We will have our gallery up and running shortly.
If you know any cuemaker/cuebuilder that would like to become part of our database please have them sent an email to us.

Regards,
Duc.

Humm, I can see how someone might (if they chose to) take that the wrong way.
'Lumber' as in rough wood waiting to be turned into something nice or another word for unfinished wood.
All wood starts out as lumber and at some point it becomes something else.
No disrespectful reference was intended.

Hi Willee,

I knew what you meant.....what do you guys think of the idea of a centralized database for cuemakers. I'm hoping this site will help me bring more work to custom cuemakers as well as increase their ROI and turn around time for a custom cue.

I'm hoping that cuemaker can present to prospect client the option of full splice cue by using our blanks but at the same time we won't interfere if the would like a custom cue from the maker. The whole goal with this site is to market custom cuemakers who just have started or season cuemakers that would like to cater to the lower end market.

Our site, will allow browsers to sign up, select their blanks of choice, choose their design, standard design template will be available, choose the cuemaker in their area or not. We will sent the blank to the cuemaker, who will require specification and customization document for the cue as well as the our customer contact details...provide quote, time, etc. Once the blank is sold, our client will pay us. Cuemaker will then communicate with our customer until the completion of the cue. Feedback system will allow cuemaker and customer to leave feedback on the work done.

We have customers, posting request for cue to be made according to their design and will have cuemaker bid for the work. This will be a cool site!! Our goals is to promote the art of cuemaking, cuebuilder and our custom blanks. We think this site will be a win-win for everyone involved with our clients been the biggest winner.

We will have a campaign setup in the fall that will invite all cue makers/builders to sign up for our program. The main requirements is that the cuemaker send us their contact details, sample photos of their work, turn around time to complete a basic full splice blanks, listing of their equipment used, etc..some details doesn't need to be disclose. We already have a list of 7 customers wanting a basic full splice cues to be completed (we quoted them $350++ to $1000++ depending on who put the blanks together,etc). We also have about list of individuals cuemakers and companies that have agreed to this program.

Regards,
Duc.
