I love the way it came out. I have yet to play with on of Bob's cues but from what I heard they are great. That's why I chose him. Congrats on your recent cue order!!!

Thanks. I think I saw your cue in process when I visited Bob's shop a month or so ago. Did you see the cue that he is making for himself? It has the most unusual chain rings that I ever saw. Two of my friends have bought cues from Bob and they love the way they play.

I think I saw the pic of his cue if he posted it on his site. I would like to pay him a visit down there sometime. I live in Rochester, NY though so it would be a treck. I'm assuming you live close if you have visited him?

I live about 100 miles from him near Cleveland. I usually go with a couple of friends and we make a day of it and stop at Paul Schofield's poolroom on Peach st. and 37th and play at his beautiful room for a couple hours. You're probably a little further but believe me, it's worth the trip to visit Bob's shop. He has a table and lets us hit with some cues with different shafts, ferrules etc. He has been gracious to us. You should visit him...you'd enjoy it!

I think I'm about 3-4 hours from him. I fully intend to take a trip down there when I can afford to. Hey here's an idea. Maybe when I am ready I can let you know and we can meet up, go to the shop, and maybe shoot some stick too!!! Lemme know. Rob.
! I'll be counting the days!! 
That's a nice one too house!!
is it done?
Hey, is your cue done yet? Do you have it by chance? I saw you asked some one else to play some the next time they come up...but if they're unavailable to do so, I'll do ya one better. Since I'm already here in Erie,PA, when you get your cue, hit me up and I'll go play some with you if you want to. Maybe we could try out each others' cues while we're at it? I haven't even looked at mine for a while cause I haven't played enough to take it out much, but it would be nice to meet you. I'll PM you my cell number to contact me. Let me know when you make it up and we'll hafta go play some, ok? Jeff

Hey duke....where ya been? Yeah I want to make a trip DOWN there this summer. I'm from Rochester, NY. If and when I come down, I will want to meet up and play some pool with the locals around there including you and Curly. The cue is done and I'm just waiting for the funds to send out so he can ship it to me. I should be sending out payment sometime near this Friday. Oh and never mind about the PM I sent you. I just woke up and am still half asleep!!
Dukeboy1977 and Curly: I plan on making the trip down to Bob's shop on Saturday April, 5. Please pm me and let me know if this is good for you guys. Duke, I already have your number but Curly if you could pm me yours that would be great. Hope to see you guys soon!!! Rob.
hey Rob...
Hey Rob, I sent you a PM regarding this post...Thanks for the reply, and I look forward to meeting you in April, whether its at Bobs' house or elsewhere. Get at me when you're coming to town sir. Take care, Jeff

Dude, I just followed this link from your sig. All I can say is "Duuuuuude!! That cue is one bad looking mammyfammy" (that's how I say mother****er on a message board). Man, that is about as sweet as it gets. I'm totally in love with this cue and I usually hate brazillian rosewood. Dude, Dude!! Hats off to the creator and a jealous punch in the eye for you.
