For the last three months I have had to borrow a cue. Every time I played. Finished this one up today.

That one looks good Larry. Maybe someone won't offer you that magic number for it and you'll get to enjoy it for a while. Keep up the good work.
 
larry ,i really like the looks of this one

i like the points and fancy stuff

i bet someone buys it before you get used to it
 
I hope it was worth the wait
3-months really isn't that long of a wait from most cuemakers these days.
You're lucky he was taking orders><:smile:

And I'm sure all your buddies had a lot of fun with "the cue maker having to borrow a cue". I'm sure you're happy that's over.

Btw, what was the k code in '63? Falcon, Fairlane?

Seems like I remember something about the ShoeMaker's kids had no shoes ??? Lot of truth to that , everytime I build ME a new cue someone else likes it better .


Take care , Jim
 
So that's who you made the cue for! Tsk...thought you were making that cue for a better player ;)
Rule of thumb is no cue maker should be using anything more than a Merry Widow with any finishing! If you're using something nice with great finishing on then you are not working hard enough! :)

In 1963 you could get the k code engine in a Fairlane or a Cobra. I didn't have a Cobra. I have had a lot of neat cars, but of all the ones I sold. I miss the 63 Fairlan most.

Life would be so much simpler if we all just used house cues!

I was playing next to Buddy Hall today. He asked if the cue was a Woodworth. Since we were both in a match, I just said no sir. A little while later he asked if I was sure it wasn't a Woodworth. I said I was pretty sure. Then explained I had just finished it yesterday. It's great having strangers ask about the cue you are playing with.

It is interesting to see what some people will go through, just to get a good pool cue to play with.
Never thought about digging up dirt on your favorite cuemaker, but it sounds like a
good way to get moved up on the wait list.

What qbilder said. About time to put the padauk leftovers to rest. Nice looking cue as always Larry.
