Nice looking batch of cues you have there.

Give us a "comparison" when you have a chance to try them all out at the table at once.

I just got another Zorro/Jackpot cue yesterday. It looks good and feels good with the weight and balance.

This one is 60' and my original one is 58". So now I got several different combinations of butts and shafts I can experiment with. 30" butt with 30" shaft, 30" butt with 29" shaft, 29" butt with 29" shaft, 29" butt with 30" shaft, and I can switch back and forth between butts and shafts since they all match.

It is different than the original ones that were made. It has a camphor burl handle (cored with purple heart) instead of the maple handle.

I can't wait to hit some balls with it, when, and if, this virus situation gets under control.

I really love those two bulldog cues, and the rest are lovely too

Although everyone has the "hit" that they prefer, I'll try to give a good comparison.

I hope so , if only I had a couple hundred more years I could give them all a proper test drive.

Thanks for the mention. Great looking group of players.

No problem, you were great to work with. Hopefully we can do it again.

Although they all turned out nice the PH Mr Joiner did was the biggest transformation. I pulled that out of an abandoned basement, was covered in some kind of sticky mold. I had to scrub it with alcohol and leave it in a rack for a couple years to make sure it was dry. I didn't realize how nice the wood would look.

Thank you, Lee for the post! You were great to work with and I enjoyed our conversation immensely. I can't wait to see the cues you make from the wood you have collected!

Thanks for the kind words Snooker Theory!

Great looking batch of cues, I would think they are great players too. I don't like "gaudy" cues at all.

Hey thank you for taking the time to make them.

They all feel like they will play well.
There are very few cues I have seen I didn't like. Honestly if I could afford multi-thousand dollar cues I would own some pretty gaudy ones. I'm pretty envious of some of the people on here, I'm just glad they post pictures so I can enjoy them.

I really love the 2nd cue from the top / the Bishop cue. That is so beautiful, and very unique looking, in my opinion.

The purple heart came out really nice in that cue, I enjoyed converting it for you. kj Joiner Custom Cues
