I would be very surprised if I were to learn it was anyone other than Bill Stroud.

I think he means, "who made the blanks used for the forearms in their cues"?
You could be right, but I would not read anything into it. Bill could make a blank as good as anyone. He could have gotten blanks from Spain for one reason or another even just to give him a little business.
Scott,
Was your cue a half splice configuration.

Was your cue a half splice configuration.

Where and from whom did you hear this insight?
Are you aware that this would have been during the period when Burt
was re-habbing row houses in Chicago and had no involvement in cues?
Plus, Bill had made about a zillion fronts by then.

He did quit for a while around 1970 but he had I am sure a lot of stock he may have liquidated for cash. He sold his equipment but he may have retained stock that was already produced and sold it off even though he was no longer still in the business so to speak. I could see him selling his equipment but not wanting to throw in blanks he had built himself.
I guess Bill could chime in and set the story straight, but since he has been banged around on here recently I would not hold my breath. If I was him, I would never post here again.
If I was him I would post some pictures of the cue in progress to prove everyone wrong about his intentions.
Just when you think you've seen it all on AZ, this pops up.
Hi Scott,
That what I thought. I didn't think Burton or John supplied half splice blanks to anyone.
Thanks,
Rick
