Hey

Your right...it is very collectable. this was one of the ones being sold to help out the Cochran family, or am I wrong?
 
It was.

Dean is great. dean and I have both tried to buy the Cue since. It's like it went in to a dark hole.
And it is pretty.
Nick :)

I guess I might be confused on this one.......I was under the impression that Dean had four unfinished cues and asked 4 different cuemakers to finish them up because he was going to sell them and donate the money to Connie Cochran........what are you talking about , both of you have tried to buy it. dean just said it was his.
dean, am I off base on all this?

There were four cues. First was finished by Dennis Searing. Second was finished by Ron Haley which i own. Third by Southwest, Fourth which was not one of Dean's had slipped my mind and finished for Steve by Tony Scianella. Sorry Steve i'm getting old maybe. lol

I am finding this a bit hard to follow
There were 3 cues,after selling the cues I did try to buy the one back.
Its no secret that I love south west cues

Eric has/had no real interest in selling,so I never got the cue back

Connie was taken care of,Laurie and Haley both did the finish without any payment in order to help Mike's widow connie

Both Ron and laurie made shafts, and did the finish work,,just to help out

Its no wonder everyone loves those guys

Bobco is the proud owner of the Haley cue,and made a very generous contribution

all of this is such old news,I don't know how it got going again

Steve and Eric are 2 guys who stood straight at a time when we all lost a friend,and
Connie lost a husband

I hope to have friends like these if I am in such a spot

Pool is usually a place for tough guys,but in this case I was proud to know these guys
 
Wasn't there also a fourth that was finished by Tony Scianella? I believe that one was made for Steve? I sure would love to see all four cues, as I'm sure others would too!

End of an era.

3 Scruggs were finished by Searing Haley and Southwest for Deanoc
3 Cochrans were finished by Blackboar for Tikkler and Shadowmoss.
Cory Barnhart and Bob Frye were given all the cue components left in the shop.Cory has built 8 'Scruggs by Barnhart'.I do not know the status of what Bob Frye has done.
Dan Janes was given an amount of in process TS Blanks to finish for Tim. They were split up and sold to Dick Abbott and Shadowmoss.
All the in process Cochran blanks were sold to Shadowmoss.At present 1 blank is at Barnhart and 1 at Joss Cues to be finished.
