do you think anyone will ever come up with a new cue construction?

wake up sunny!

mr. tramp ... did you mean hippie lettuce? 'hippy' threw me off!

hippies, about which i know almost nothing, believed in fun, didn't like war and were fashion-challenged.

surely -- in your lettuce reference -- you are not referring to blunts, weed, cannabis, ganja, hemp, hashish, kief, netherweed, sinsemilla and the like?

why do so many boyos associate gateway drugs and alcohol and the like with my thoughtful musings on the vagaries of life?

what makes a cue a monster.... I want to make one. I stay at my house all the time and never really get out I am a stay at home father of two and sell cues for a living.... my cues are the only cues I sell. I get weird request for cues and I do it if I can but what can I do to try and accomplish a feat of making a monster cue ... is it the number of inlays or design... just dont understand that ....I mean if it's inlays I made a cue once for a guy with over 2450 thats right over 2450 inlays of silver and gold.... a stipple art work of saint micheal slaying a dragon in gold and silver. with silver cross ingraved and inlayed and scrimshawed ivory windows of american dragons 4 windows. and 2 silver crosses that was to look as if the cue itself went through the battle. four points with ivory dots one sided veneer r/b/w ivory joint and butt. 3/8 10 pin 8 shafts all rings accented in platinum. points thuya burl with leopard wood accents birds eyes for forearm and handle and orange amboyna for butt. could something like this even make an honorable mention..... I mean I made the cue how he wanted it though it looked as if it had imperfection but he wanted the cue to be part of the battle and not just showing the battle this was hard to do... can send some pics to give you a glimps ... I really would like to make a monster cue any advise would be great, thanks
 
Heck yeah, we want pics of that.

What is some stuff that you have found problems doing?

Personally, I've thought about points that kinda curve around the butt as they go upward toward the pin. Sorta like they are twisting around the cue. I've never seen that done, but I'd imagine it's possible judging from the extreme things I've seen done.

Poolhalls. Booze. Weed. Vagaries? Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. :)


Note: Ladies and Gentlemen. Do not let Miss Sunny's, and my spirited reparte' alarm you. It is only because she lives somewhere south of Houston, and I live in the hills and hollows of SW Missouri, that allows us to play off each other in a fun way.
 
Funny, I have 7 playing cues and they all play about the same to me. I wish I could say i'm a half ball better with one of them, but I can't. 2 DP's, 1 McDermett, 2 Viking with 3 shafts (1 shaft OB-1, and two cheap under $100 cues. A good well shaped tip, comfotable shaft, and a smooth straight stroke is all that's needed. Oh, and maybe a big fat blunt for my mental game.:wink:. Johnnyt

There have been a few different constructions and designs but players tend to embrace old style traditional cues. For some reason many players want full splice cue or cues with sharp points. Don't like cues made with CNC and etc. Cue makers have to make what sells to survive. The other is setting up to make something different. Get with Ernie he likes to make challenging designs but it will cost you.

Your post reminds me of the Cheech and Chong movie were they were getting uniforms for their band they wanted them to be the same but different.
