Here is a cue that I just completed for a local customer. The cue was made from a Schmelke Bacote Blank that had a Nice Birdeye Maple front. The cue weighs 19.5 oz and it is 59 inches long. The cue was made with a single shaft, it has Ebony with Pearl rings that are matching at the cues joint and in the cues butt.

You do really nice work, conversions, finish work, etc., but I thought we weren't supposed to tell anyone...:smile:

Thanks man, but I have stayed quite long enough. While I can't compete with many of the cue makers here on the forum or in general my work is improving even though I still have a long way to go.

Take care

Thanks very much for your comments. The vintage look is what I am after and it is also what I love in cues. Cues like this cue are very simply made and they do not require a large shop full of equipment, which I do not have room for and do not want if I did. All I have for equipment, is a Table saw, drill press, table top sander, a desk top metal lathe and small finish lathe. But my most important asset is something that can't be purchased and that is my eye for simplicity and design. I have come to the conclusion that less can be more if the right combination of woods and materials are used.

I think being self taught is my biggest asset, because I have never been someone who stayed between the lines, and this gives me a different approach to cue making. I love to experiment and by building cues with the old style look there are so many materials that can be used to achieve it and enhance the look and appearance.

Thanks again for your comments, sorry for getting long winded!!!!:embarrassed2:

Nice comment (and cue BTW)...I've been looking at all these beautiful, fancy cues on AZB for the last few months and was worried that my intended simple approach was misguided - it's great to see someone already building cues with a like-minded perspective.

Of course, it'll be about two more years before I'll be able to post pics of even my first cue...so in the meantime, I'll just keep hanging hardwoods!

Again, nice cue!

-Jason.
