All the exterior sewing is done by hand. It’s hand dyed with soft glove leather inside. This one is a 2x4 and priced at $2500. I intend to make more of them as we go on.
Beautiful case

What is the base construction materials?View attachment 613933View attachment 613934View attachment 613932For a long time I have wanted to make a cue case like this. In the 1980’s I used to make copies of Italian attaché cases when Abercrombie & Fitch sold out of their imported cases until they could get a new shipment.

I’m planning a 1x2I would to have something like this in a 1x1
It’s made with high grade plywood. That’s true. The butts are underneath and the shafts are on a table on hinges that lifts up.What is the base construction materials?
In other words, wood, CF etc. It appears to have two layers for butts and shafts.
I used to have one of the original Palmer cases that were essentially a piece of quality luggage. I don't think it was real leather though.
Those look great.I’m planning a 1x2

I will make cases now. I’m fairly healthy now. They would just take 3-6 months. I don’t have reference photos to show now so you would have to know what you want.Those look great.
Are you still making regular cases? I guess I thought you were long since retired from serious health issues that you had posted about years ago. I just put a new case order in a couple of months ago and never saw anything where you were still in business.
Thanks.
There probably isn’t any, but I like making these and I can’t work for nothing. It’s possible that someone who can spend $5,000 on a cue can afford my case. Believe me, I know pool players are not big spenders, but that doesn’t change the value for of this case.Where is a market for $2500 cases ???
Mine too. It’s the old story that the shoe maker can’t afford his shoes. But there are a lot of people with money. Maybe I’ll find a few. If not, I’ll be happy doing what I like to do.Where is a market for $2500 cases ???
Thanks. Probably a 3x6 would add a few inches to the width but that may be as far as you would want to go, but who knows.This is only reminiscent of the old violin cue cases back in the 50’s & 60’s only in that it opens the same way.
Thereafter this case departs from anything made. It is incredibly sturdy looking, and at the same time, elegant.
The leather looks handsome, plush, stitched beautifully & crafted like it should carry something of importance.
It appears to be so well made in this design style that anything more than a 2x4 case could be like luggage.
A 1x1 would probably have to be very flat and thin.I would to have something like this in a 1x1
I haven’t actually weighed it yet, but it is about the same weight as the tube cases.What is the approximate weight of the case?
