I could be way off here, but the cue reminds me of the cues that Ronnie Powell (Q-Perfect Cues) was selling at Valley Forge about 8 years ago. The cues were actually made by Linds in the Philippines. Beautiful inlaywork all done by hand.
just more hot air!

Sherm Adamson:
Yes, you are most definitely”way off”. I am surprised that after so many years since you sat at Edwin's talking to my by emails one night at 9 p.m. trying to make me believe you were a customer in America, that you would re-open a (A redundant "can the" taken out when edited) can of worms that a jealous Linds opened years ago when he tried to ruin my business!
I mean, why involve yourself in something you actually and literally do not know about? They have you fooled so badly about more than this, but you are clueless about other things as you are about this.
for example; Have you or did you ever see Linds make any cue?
Next, have you seen any cues being made at the shop of the "Con-man from Quezon City" being made for me and me taking possession of?
No, you did not. You only took the word of Linds and the dead Edwin Reyes, who also never saw this occur! You nor Edwin Reyes never witnessed anything! It all boils down to who you believe.
You know if you keep this up then i am going to post the ONLY reason you come to The Philippines, young women, so keep out of this.
I tried to warn you, but you would not listen. How much money has that last young girl been able to vacuum from your billfold using those twins She may have told you "I cannot get pregnant, do not worry". You would not listen to me, you let your lower extremities over-ride your brain. I do not think very highly of you as a person. Why? I cannot understand why you bother to keep on defending the so-called leader bunch of internet bullies that steal American cue designs, sell black market ivory in their cues, while they undercut American cue makers and cheat American buyers with junk that soon warps and comes apart! Doing all this while flaunting international treaties governing the illegal shipments of ivory. That is criminal, even in The Philippines as evidenced by their once a year ivory confiscations!
I have numerous letters in my files from customers who want me to take up for them because they said Linds cheated them and then sent letters saying, "I, like all other cuemakers (sic), cannot guarantee shafts not to warp."
I replied to all of these complainers that if they knew of my site and had read my warnings, then they would have knows not to buy from him, so tell him yourself and stop asking me to advocate for you.
I told Linds I was going online with my cues. He went online 3 to 4 months later and lo-and-behold he filled his site with copies of designs fiorst seen on my site only a few months before! Strange, would you think?
I sent him a letter asking him to stop. he replied in a way that meant, make me! He once sent me a threat informing me that, "There are more of us than there are of you." Sherm, you kissed their leader's bottom, I would not. That is the main difference between you ads I. I would not go meet Edwin, thus that started him against me. Sherm you have only visited here. you know diddly squat about this culture and how that many arguments are settled by raw blunt force or guns, you think you know, but you do not! So why revisit this? Did you think someone would not inform to me what you said? Get a life, I am not going to put up with it from them nor you, a clueless American! Sure they will sympathize with you about your twins. I do also and will give you some free advice that will help them. But they knew why the woman was with you from the get-go. $$$$$$$$$$$ you old fool! Also another one is now learning the hard way also.
If you want or anyone wants their children to take back to there, then here is some free advice. The easiest way is to get Efren Reyes to help you cut through the red tape and the necessary bribes. I believe he could literally save anyone months of bumping face first into walls and thousands in cutting the bribes. That information is because I feel for the children.
You readers do not know that every time a good review of one of my cues was posted on a forum that Linds always sent me a veiled threat.
Then I started my Exotic wood line for two reasons:
A. Linds even stated on the Filipino owned EPT forum that he had a photo of one of his men inlaying a gold QP into one of his cues. Plainly stating he was counterfeiting my cues. I have had three customers send me photos of what they thought were my cues, but they were counterfeits, probably done by your friend Sherm. The last 4 months he has placed a gold logo into some of his cues, his own logo this time, copied my one-piece maple style, copied two of my designs and he and his band of cohorts literally copy whole pages of my copyrighted materials and post them on a Philippine forum where they do nothing in thread but bash me. I offer now and have offered many time this; i will take down any mention of these codswallops if they remove ever bit of trash they have posted about me. For years they have refused. Linds and/or his friends have posted hate speech against me on many forums not related to pool including a porn forum. This is what i am up against and you silent cue makers in America watch, afraid to tell them to shut up. A few of you will, three I have been told.
B. Next I discovered it was illegal to ship ivory overseas. At the time I had only learned of pool forums and pool magazines and for once i did not have a clue to the world-wide treaties governing the shipment of ivory. The illegality of shipping ivory overseas greatly influenced me to not do this. I plainly state on my site that I will make or inlay ivory in a cue, but the customer must come and pick it up himself.
You say the cue is worth 2K. It is if it is mine, but mine will not hide my name. Me cue will plainly have a serial number and a "QP" on it.
There are two types of the ways Linds sells his cues. One sometimes he puts his name under the wrap. Then sometimes he does not put his name. he knows it is going to warp because he cut out the butt in a single day!
My name is not on the outside nor under the wrap of that cue, although it is a dead ringer for one of my designs. Take the wrap off and look, if it has Linds name, then it is his cue, and if it does not have Linds name, then it is still his cue.
Hey Linds, you still happy now at Sherm taking that shot at me. I would say you are not after reading this are you.
There has never been a Linds cue inlayed with ivory that sold for more than $350 new! Most never more than $200.
Linds, you are included because your friend brought up your name and you posted and was content to let him slam me without asking him to keep me out of this.
This is the firs time i have logged in to this gossip forum since last October. I do not plan to log in again.
Sherm, for the most part, most readers on this forum can look back in its history to see whom the real forum demonizes and bullies and yellers of their mantra (Racism - racist) are.
Your problem is you only visited here and have not got a single clue to what they are, have done, and the murder they want to do to me, who will stand up to them! Many people thought i was a nut rtesadfing myu ( changed to the correct spelling of "reading my") site and me telling them how these people settled arguments, but now after Edwin and Linds being shot i believe many of them have reappraised their former wrong positions and beliefs.
Sherm, come on now, you are speaking hearsay about who made my cues, come on now, fess up. Just like you believed those girl about how much they "loved you." You can be fooled, you gullible old fool.
You only have the word of Linds about this and many of his “former” customers can tell you about his word. Anyone in his shop will say exactly what he wanted or wants them to say because they must eat and they literally work for food. You never saw a single one of them driving any car no matter how old, did you?
Sherm, it is simple, stay off of my livelihood and I will not mention you. you slap me, then i am going to HIT you back. you know i still have those letters you sent to me, so would you leave me alone?
Edited the second time for spellings and an offer of peace, which the scum will refuse.

This second edit will be the very last.
