i didnt want to hijack a recent thread about this style of cues
but (not butt LOL)
should a hoppe butt cue just have JUST the hoppe ring
or is a hoope ring AND inlays in the buttsleeve acceptable???
 
any cue with the single thin white ring at the bottom is considered a Hoppe style

The original rind was also known as a Rambro ring

Whether it has inlays is immaterial,
but most of the early ones had no inlays

seldom does Barry do a fancy cue with the ring
i like the cues both ways,fancy or plain

post your cue tomorrow to show us a perfect classic style Scruggs

i am having schon make me some Hoppe style cues (the only ones they have ever made as far as I know) that I think will become instant classics,they are sending me 7 this month
all sold but one,i look forward to sharing my pictures here if it doesn't sell soon

when you show your Scruggs ,maybe others will share pictures here and display
the wide difference acceptable in the Hoppe

a recent discussion involves bumper or no bumper,it would be interesting to get comments on that as well.

In another week or so, Murray Tucker is shipping me another one. Then if all goes well Kenny Koo will deliver another at the SBE this March.




Thanks for looking,

Hoppe Cues

Awesome cues listed above. Looking at these cues makes me wonder if I made a mistake getting my Hoppe cue made with inlays. The Hoppe design is classic and timeless beauty.I'm not going to get much sleep tonight the cue will be in my hands tomorrow.
 
cue holders?

first off let me say that those are beautiful cues very very nice. Second may I ask where you got the green holders for those cues? could use some of those.
 
Please share with how you got these GREAT PHOTOS!

I use a Sony DSC-H20 (roughly $300-$350) set to "auto". It must be the beautiful Connecticut natural sunlight. The background is a piece of material I bought at Wal-Mart for $6. Thanks for the compliments. The camera does all the work. Literally I just point and shoot.

I will assume you are talking to me. :wink:

I bought those from amazon.com and they are called Pocket Lathe by Nivecraft. Here is a link: http://www.amazon.com/Nivecraft-Pocket-Lathe/dp/B000WR0WEA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325719317&sr=8-1

It is called in the Photography Profession: Available Light on a Cloudy Day Producing Great Soft Light, So you do not get NO FOO****G Reflections, or HOT SPOTS, and the PHD CAMERA. PHD = Push Here Dummy on the BUTTON, and WHALA You Get GREAT PIX.....:D
