I was able to visit Timmy's shop in the early 2000s. I was a young Airman stationed in D.C. A guy I used to play pool with a gentleman named George (in Northern VA) was a very good handyman, and Tim would give him cues in exchange for work. George apparently had quite a colletion. Well, one day George invited me to ride with him to Tim's shop. We stopped by some place and purchased a big mess of crab cake sandwiches. I didn't go with the intention of buying a cue, but Tim had some finished cues there ready to sell. I was young and broke, and said as much, but he gave me a super generous price on a little simple 4 pointer with veneers, and I was able to swing the cost. More than the cue, it was just fun getting to meet Tim, and Mike and hang out for the day. A lot of great players in DC used Timmy's cues.
 
When you have that many cues, it becomes more like a collection ot art work than cues you play regularly.
Since pool cues made by any cue maker, including Tim’s, can differ in how they play & feel, my curiosity is
which of the TS cues in this great collection are the favorite ones to actually shoot pool? It’s easy for me to
narrow the field because of my personal preference for how a pool cue is constructed. It would be delightful
to try all these cues for a few minutes each and pick the top 2 or 3 that stood out for playability rather than
appearance. Nonetheless, a array of cues like in the photo is a rare accomplishment nowadays, at least IMO.
