I've been looking for about three years now, ever since I started making cues. Finally my search is over. I didnt want to pay $300 for a blank so I was patient to find one cheap. My father calls me up about a week ago and says " The thrift store I'm at has acouple house cues, can you use them "? I said for $1.50 apiece what could it hurt. Well after league I come home and see three cues in the corner, after looking at the first two they where old house cues realatively straight. I then notice the last of the three have faded veneers. I pick it up and notice a faded Willie Hoppe written above the number 14. I was in shock, my father found an old Willie Hoppe Titlist for $1.50. So here is what my first Titlist Willie Hoppe conversion looks like. Enjoy.
Look what I finally found

Lucky dog! Looks good. I once found a Palmer model 15 in a pawn shop. The logo had been rubbed or sanded off so I did not know what it was at the time I bought it. Only paid $15 for it because the shaft was badly warped. Wound up selling it for alot more of course on ebay.
I converted it, Tony Sauer. I am impatient and didnt have any Ivory around so Aegis it was.
