Ginas!!

Once again, Jimbo, you are right. Can't point to any one specific post right now on that topic, but many of us know it's the truth.

Know what is the truth?? That I think Ernie is one of the top cuemakers all time as well as currently? How is that getting me? I don't sell his cues, I don't push his cues and you can't show where I've even commented on it too many times. I guess I really don't get your point, sure Ernie is Great! So what, big deal you caught me, guilty as charged???? How is this a bad thing against me?

Also....since you seem to be the forum's self-proclaimed "end-all and know-all" when it comes to the do's and don't of cues,

I've never claimed any such thing, I don't even understand what you mean by this, please explain. I've made my opinions very clear and some are well known, you don't have to agree, they are just my opinions, isn't that what this forum is for? Isn't it to share opinions, agree and disagree, as well as debate? I don't see why you are so worked up about me and my opinions. I also don't see why you get mad when I point out that we have rules and why it bothers you when I ask someone not to break them.

designs,

I've made it very clear that I don't think STEALING someone's intellectual property is wrong, you can disagree and you can think stealing is fine, that's your opinion, but don't be made at me for calling it what it is and exposing thieves for what they are. Other then that I don’t think I've told anyone how they should design their cues as long as they are original, again feel free to show where I have and I'll explain my post.

collecting,

Again I don't believe I've ever told anyone how or what they should collect, I feel that's personal and I have respect for people who do collect, no matter what they collect, even if they collect Meucci's or Viking's.
and on-line etiquette,

Here we may have a sticking point, this forum has rules, they should be followed. I didn't make the rules, I try not to break the rules, but if I do I don't mind someone calling me on it. These are not my rules and they sure aren't my opinions, they are common sense and should be followed, why does it bother you when I ask people to respect this forum and it's rules??

I just have one question.

When are we going to see some of your stuff..........or...........ARE YOU AFRAID OF BEING PUBLICALLY CRITIQUED ????

What stuff? and what would my cue have to do with any of the stuff you wrote above? I'm still not real sure why your panties are all bunched or why you get so mad when I give an opinion. I will never understand why you get mad when I ask someone to follow the rules laid down here. If I own 1 cue or 100 Bushkas has no effect on how my opinion should be taken, owning nice cues doesn't make anyone an expert and it doesn't give anyone credibility. Also what someone adds to this group shouldn't effect the way he is received, but I'm sure you feel if a guy owns a Bushka maybe we should take his word more serious and his opinion should count for more then the guy who collects the Meucci, after all that puts him below the Bushka guy right???
I don't come here to brag or to try to impress anyone, I come here to look at cues and share opinions. If you need to show off or stroke your ego you go right ahead, if you have a problem with my opinion then go right ahead and disagree, maybe we can debate a topic, it might be fun and people may even learn something from it (on both sides). But don't try to make me into some sort of bad guy because I speak my mind, don't ass kiss, and want the rules followed.

Isn't the one on the right a Phillippi design?

Due to the sunglasses you're wearing and the lack of a smiley face I can't tell if this is a joke, the fact that it's the second time you've said it I'm not sure, but I do know it's not a funny one.

Totally off topic by now, The top snakewood cue is very nice. Mr. Tucker, I found some snakewood, I'll send you pictures privately next week to show you what I did with it. It's in the spray booth.

Cool. I have one sort of in the works also. I have the inlay patern done but my mill is busy making money right now so the inlays will have to wait a couple of weeks. We'll have to compare notes.

Don't you think you should/could reciprocate by sharing some of your collection? Some of us like to look at cues too...lol.

Jimbo,
The joke was funny! I found the thread about that particular cue design interesting and read many of the posts. I don't understand how anyone could argue that the design of the Phillippi wasn't a copy, or at a minimum, inspired by the Ginacue. To me, it looked virtually identical. That being said, I also don't understand how anyone would expect that any form of art / design wouldn't get copied. I would venture to say that EVERY form of art is copied. From paintings, music, film, etc. Anyone that buys a painting of the Mono Lisa would know if it was painted by Da Vinci. Anyone who buys a Ming Vase would know if it was made in the Ming Dynasty. Why wouldn't you expect to see this type of thing happen in the cue world?

here are 3 new ginas I just recieved from ernie! and boy they are sweet!
great cues, ernie does SUPER work and his work is highly respected and keeps it's value as well. Your site is great,as well and you,come highly respected!!!!!!! in the industry, keep up the good work. Everyone out there lets have a moment of silence and prayer for John Wright if he was still alive you know he'd be here with us,telling us off or trying to sell us a cue. Some people did not like him but think about it,he could fine you a cue or get you one. He was the best at it in the whole world at one time. The Skunk..
 
iconcue said:
appearently the cue went to scot sherbine

even though he replied 6 more times on this thread he didnt bother to set the record straight
and sherbine did a great job!he refinished the but for me and had it back within 7 days! if you liked the cue so much you should not have backed out of the bid, but thats your m.o backing out of deals!

you dont disclose either

iconcue said:
hmmmm! 120 some odd cues in a years time!
must'a consummated a couple deals :)
good change of subject though!
noticed ya didnt disclose the refinish work on your site either!
did you disclose that the mottey was refinished you bought off sherbine and offered to all the azers?no of course not! cause it doesnt matter unless it is a vintage cue because now the finishes are so much better! so remove the hair from your a$$ ,and quit riding mine on every post! and stop giving any one who compliments me a hard time! cause if you have a beef with me lets handle it. and stop playing your childish games! all it is is annoing!
