I'm looking for a custom cuemaker for my next cue. Sharp points, Veneers, propellers and barbells to give a hint. A super Szam clone..

Please contact me if you are interested in building it. I have sketches and info and am ready to move forward.

Thanks for the plug but, I've never made a "clone" of another cue makers work and would never even consider doing so...Not even my own Fathers work.
Copy, clone, tribute, all the same to me. I put them all in the same category of being wrong to do and disrespectful.

Thanks for the post and I agree with you but I honestly don't know where to draw the line?? I have used Sharp points, Veneers, propellers and barbells over the years and the thought never even entered my mind that I was cloning some other cuemaker's work.

I know that to copy in its entirety another cuemaker's cue would be unethical in my opinion and I would not do that. I certainly would not put a copy of another cuemaker's logo on a cue.

I feel pretty sure that if the original poster had not used the phrase "Szan Clone" there would be no problem.

Good Cuemaking,

I guess each person has to make their own decision as to where to draw the line.

I've heard the expression "grey area" several times. I was Office Depot the other day and decided to look for a pen that would draw a "grey" line. Couldn't find one :)

To me, the word "intent" comes to mind on the matter. If a person makes a copy/clone/Tribute and it's used to further their career or enchance their check book, then their intent is pretty clear.
