can someone please show pics

I say thank God that the good cuemakers are making Sneaky Petes. There is probably a much higher profit for them to make the fancy cues but some of us can't afford them.

I think they put just as much care into the making of the SP's as they do their highend cues, afterall their names on them too.

Again I'm sorry everyone read into that the wrong way.
I guess if I said "Do you have anything other then a Sneaky" everyone wouldn't have gotten in a uproar.:rolleyes:

Again I agree with Icon. "Converted house cues" seemed as a direct jab. You have to remember I put a lot of hours into making these cues as perfect as possible. Knowing most go through an evaluation by the new owner and then reported on here in the forum...really wants to make you put your heart into the cues and make each owner as proud as possible.
No my cues aren't generally the most expensive, but they mean the same to the guy who spends $450 as does someone who spends $2450. So most potential owners don't mention house cue. And I will go on record as saying there is not a thing wrong with making a very nice cue from a select house cue butt. The butt is the only section used for those who don't know. They get custom shafts. I've seen many superb pieces of exotic woods in old bar cues. I've gotten wonderful ebony blanks from Dufferin and some actual curly purpleheart from old Valley's. I've even seen perfect bocote Valley blanks. I suppose somewhere someone isn't happy with their Varney...they just must be few & far. How many Varney's do you ever see for sell? Believe me there are plenty out there. More than a few on this forum. I stand behind my work...I think thats all you can ask of someone who converts house cues and makes nice customs.
Anyway...no harm meant, no foul.
Everyone have a wonderful weekend.:)

Originally when reading the thread I thought the comment about "converted house cues" was that it was a none too subtle dig at the cuemaker's work so I do not blame him for getting defensive.
