[TX Poolnut]

I haven't seen this before. Hand-carved rings, earrings, and other jewelry made from old pool balls. Anyone ever seen this?

I like this model.

These have been around for a long time, I saw them being made 40 years ago.. They are easy to make, I think the price of $160.00 is a bit high though.

Very cool,

Cool idea, but 160 bucks for a ring made out of a pool ball? Somehow I don't think they're going to be flying off the shelves.

I was looking for $29.98, maybe $49.98 :groucho:

Looks like you could make your own with a drill and a Dremel tool. Has anyone tried it? and what problems did you have? Looks like they might be fun to make.

Yeah, has anyone tried this. If so, let me know exactly how.

Yikes, $160 for a ring. Retired balls my butt, cost ya $1.50 plug to get new stock. I think a band saw, drill and a Dremel would do the trick just fine.
I can see alot of bar boxes missing the eight and nines now.

Looks about as simple as making your own cue shaft. Just take a piece of wood and turn it down. Maybe put on a tip. Piece of cake :thumbup:
