Hand made cues?

Some cue collectors and dealers have "assembled" the greatest assimilation of "assembled" cues in the world and they bring them to the "assembly" held each year where lots of people "assemble" to look at them and buy them.

Most of my "assembled" cues have a semblance of hitting a TON.

How is that for "assembling" a lot of words that mean absolutely nothing to some people who are usually associated with words beginning with "A S S"?

That would be pretty much it.


Some will machine their own pins. They are still just screws.


Some will do their own splices. In the end it's still just one part of the assembly.


That final fit and finish, durability, playability, and numerous qualitative factors combine to make what the cue will be.



The methods GB used were appropriate for the time. It does make one wonder what he would be doing today if he were making cues.


There are those who choose to make virtually every part they use to assemble a cue, right down to the bumper and pin. Would GB be doing that if he were working today? I think he could have been doing that 50-60 years ago if he really wanted. I have a feeling he wouldn't do it today either. That's just idle speculation. But if true, it wouldn't make him any less a cue maker nor his cues any less in quality.

I have a feeling he might even use the same A joint screw. :D:eek:;););)

He might even still take a full splice Szam blank and cut it to put that A joint in. :D:eek:;););)

This has been said before but seems appropriate here as well. In the cue-buying marketplace, nobody cares about how you've accomplished your inlay work... It's about the end result - the finished cue itself. You can't argue with that.

Yeah that would be something for both George, Gus and Barry considering that Szam blanks are short splice...:wink:

Any point I was making has nothing to do with a buyer. End of story

You could pay me 5k to put a snatch on a forearm and it ain't happening .

You could buy a cue and draw it on there with a crayon if one wanted that as an example.

I seriously doubt any person with any high end skill set gives a dam about any other way.

It's not about right or wrong we all do things diff but you gotta be you Ed.....I'm not earl, I'm not Thomas Wayne either.

If I give the board a Cajun recipe you really think it's gonna taste like my food or my fathers?

It won't. We could be side by side oath a referee watching for me to "cheat" and use more or less of an ingredient.

And your still gonna fail.......hard.

Cuz it ain't your bag.

Make your own bag your way. It's the only way you find de best in yourself

Most cue makers I know have to work at it for a living so the buyer does have something to due with my point. Anyway, I won't argue that one can't march to their own drum beat. Peace.
