many of us have spent thousands even tens of thousands of dollars building cue collections made by the finest artisans only to store them in playing cases, closets, or poorly constructed wall racks. doesnt these pieces of art deserve better.

for sale is an oak 18butt 36shaft cue display case
break front three section design
I make all of the pieces in house
three piece razor blade inlay cherry/birdseyemaple/cherry
turned and fluted spindles

I would also like to hear from every one about the design and what they think

Price:750.00
ill consider trades for custom cues but it will take a pretty nice cue to get this case from me

here a link for picture also Im sorry that the quality of the pictures are so poor new camera (nicer camera) im having trouble with it also the glass and locks are not in the case in the pictures and it need some more finish work but they will get you an idea what your buying

Wow, another nice piece! I like those quartered fluted columns. I'd like to see this same design in cherry or mahogany, and dental molding under the crown would be a nice touch as well. A great way to store your collector cues, and priced right. Very nice work! :)
 
Andrew ,

looks nice but a little big for my needs, i would be interested in a smaller one like your avatar, and with just standar oak wood with a clear finish.
pm me details and pricing
thanks

IT'S VERY NICE, DO THE DOORS LOCK?
 
door

yeah the doors do lock but I just didnt have the locks or glass on them when the picture were taken
 
Specs

Nice looking case! What are the overall dimensions of the case? Does it have real glass or plexiglass? :)
 
Cue Case

Very nice case I know this guys wood working skills and they are some of the best I have seen and get better with each Case he builds. If you don't have one of his cases I highly suggest you get one. I am looking forward to getting a bigger one when I expand my collection. Good luck Andy

I use double strength (thats what my glass distributer calls it?)
1/8th thick real glass

You are correct...
1/16" thick glass is called Single Strength
1/8" thick glass is Double Strength
3/16" thick glass is called Crystal
1/4" thick glass is called Plate glass

Useless info. :D

Where is Wellman located? I grew up in Ft. Madison :rolleyes: :D ;) :)

I googled Wellman. It's south of Iowa City.. not too far... 15 or 20 miles I"m guessing. I didn't pay a lot of attention to how far. I just wondered in what part of the state. I think it's straight west of Lone Tree.

I worked in the glass industry for a while...glass starts out at 3/32nd, then 1/8th double strength, 3/16th, and 1/4 in. heavy sheet...there is a brand of tempered called Herculite that you can hit with a pipe and it will laugh at you instead of break...
 
It's pretty close as I remember

I think Wellman is about 1.5 hrs from FM if I remember right :rolleyes: ....not to far from Fairfield and those loose meat (Maid-Rite) sandwiches :D

Very nice looking rack and work! I'll have to save some money and/or sell some more beer so that I can buy one of these from you :)

Best of luck with your sale! Ken ;)
 
Case

Nice case! Maybe some day once my cues are a little more sought after, we can make a trade:D

Fort Madison is cool little town. My buddies dad lived there for years. I think he worked at Armor Dial. We would go there for a couple weeks every summer and do a lot of fishing and partying. We would sit in the bait shop/bar and hit balls on a 10 cent or quarter table, can't remember but cheap. Beer was even cheeper. Keep in mind this is only a few years go. Seemed like every other year may flies would swarm that town. We would fish all day and hit Burlington and Gulfport at night. Sam's Speak Easy, I think was the name, was pretty fun and had one of those Z tables.
 
Gulport....only after dark!

Yep, the MayFlies are a dangerous bunch of bugs.....especially if your riding a bike :eek:

Slippery when dry at times! Gulfport is on the other side of the Mississippi from Burlington and a great place to pick up a $$$ game of 9-Ball....just don't play my cousin JW late at night :)

Whitey's is a great place there in Burlington for pool tourneys' -- I grew up in that place when it was an old Bowling alley back in the day....only a couple blocks from my cousins house ;)

It's a great part of the country for sure. Pat Diveney's shop is about 90 miles from this neck of the Midwest woods up by Iowa City.....a little burg I think around abouts Libertyville!? :)

Yeah, we hit about everyplace when we were there. Mostly pubs, Barracudas, Hot Totties, Buffalos???, Big Muddy's, Sams and all the little places around it:D. I like that little old ice cream shop in FM. Great place to nurse a hang over before doing it all over again;) Sam, the owner of that place in Gulfport loved to play doubles for drinks on that Z table. Me and my buddy would have free drinks as far as the eye could see. I remember I 8 ball broke on him three times in a row. Fun times.

It's a great place to hang out and play pool!

If you're ever back in FM again.....check out a little place called the Hillside....Bif and Beth own this place and they've got a really nice 9' table upstairs tucked away for friends and family :) -- tell them Ken & Mare sent ya :D

I grew up accross the alley from this place and they probably still make some of the BEST fried chicken in this neck of the woods!

I've got another cousin who owns "FAT ANNIES" up in Augusta, IA on the Skunk River....her claim to fame is some AWESOME Pork Tenderloin sandwiches that are HUGE.....again, don't play her brother JW any 9-Ball for any serious $$$ :D :p :eek: :cool:
