I just want to say that Greg Howard, more than anyone, has done a lot to help John Davis over the last year. He has steered John in the right direction and all of John's cutomers will eventually benefit from it.
Greg is one of my best bird dog type of contacts for finding "hard-to'find" cues and alweays gives the best prices. While John is a legendary blank maker, he is still learning the complete cue making end of the operations, finishes, inlays, etc. You can bet he will be in the upper tier when the dust settles and I predict there will not be enough John Davis cues to go around.
