I recently had the pleasure of having a cue made for me by Bob Flynn of Denali Cues. This was a very unique experience, as Bob approaches cuemaking differently than anyone I've dealt with in the past.
He started off by having me choose a forearm, handle, and butt section from his rather large stock. We talked about what kind of rings, joint, ferrule, and buttcap the cue should have. We discussed weight, shaft diameter, etc. and the price including the required deposit (which was very reasonable) and then Bob created a worksheet for me and put a picture on it that had all the components in the correct order laying next to each other for the initial visuals.
Approximately a week later, he sent updated pictures of the initial cuts. A couple more weeks and I got pictures of the final cuts and was told it would be in the final spray within a couple of weeks. I received the cue in less than two months from the initial order!
The cue hits very solidly. It is extremely unique with eight different types of wood, an elk horn ferrule, buttcap, and joint, and water buffalo rings. The cue rolls very straight (cored with purpleheart) and was supplied in a felt sleeve with joint protectors and packaged in a heavy mailing tube.
Bob kept in touch regularly and was always right back to me when I emailed him. He is a true businessman and was very helpful in helping me choose the woods. I will be buying more cues from Bob, and I highly recommend him!
