My 4th Cue.
1st Cue in 3/4 Scale? 18" long, 19" with Cue Cap on..
Alternative Ivory and Ebony..
A Tribute to Gus......

So hard to make. my machines are too small for this size.
Cue Caps are real with 5/16" x 14 Piloted Brass Insert!!:eek:
Didn't come out perfect. :mad:
A great Backscratcher or Pointer if you're an instructor who loves pool.

Happy New Year to All!!!! :smile:
Thank You All for a great year.
This has been my best year in Cue Caps..
AND, IT'S BECAUSE OF ALL OF YOU...
Thank You Steve (Tikkler) for rounding up the Valley Forge trip for me.
Thank You all for the Valley Forge Trip. Without you, I would never be able to travel.
Honest!!! I don't even Drive.:p

Great work, I heard through the grapevine that everyone who contributed to your SBE trip was getting one of these. What a wonderful way to show your appreciation! Happy New Year.
 
Lol, Tommy! Amazing work, Alton. Up to your usual high quality standards. Wonder what it plays like :smile:
 
Thanks

Thanks Kevin and Tommy..
This cue took me 5+ days to make.
I tell you, Cuemaker's deserve a lot more credit than they have.
"Love your CUEMAKER" Bumper Stickers should be printed..:p

I am trying to do something for each who contributed, but, a cue for all would make my trip = 100+ days of work.:p
Kev, for sale? Didn't come out perfect. and, it took so much effort and time (and fustration) to make.
Hard to put a price on it.
But, It is cool to have carrying it around the house, with only your favorite Boxers on.. LOL:D
Thanks Simon. The cue doesn't have shafts.. That's another miracle waiting to happen...

Thanks Brian... Yes, your suggestion did cross my mind, but, not as the miniture salesman samples..
I remember someone on AZ had one of those mini cue sets from the pass.
I was thinking more on the novelty side.. :smile:

Nice work... You could be on to something - in the saddlemaking world there are people who make miniature saddles modeled after the small saddles that were carried by salesmen as samples. They can get pretty detailed. Some examples...

I would like to see more if you plan on making any. Keep up the good work.

Alton It's like everything I have seen you do, Absolutly Beautiful, the design, and exicution, flawless Thanks for shareing. Jim
 
That would be a helluva a cue for my Daughter! I've been looking around and all I can find are one-peice "house" cues or garish pink/purple things. Something around 42" would be perfect.

She's only 3 years old so she doesn't get the concept of shooting from a bridge yet. I'll give her another year to see if she shows a desire to learn how to play.

Please PM me with an idea of what you would charge for such a thing if she gets into pool.
 
Thanks

tasaddicts - It's more like a toy...
Jim Baxter - It's not flawless.
mosconiac - Hannah would give me such a bad review here and I would be in front the Firing Squad for selling her a cue I made.. :eek: :grin-square:
That Alternative Ivory flexes. when compressed, it bulges.
Not sure if it's stable for forearm material.
Thanks for posting..
Howzit Eric.. :happy-birthday:
Proffessor Pauly - And that will be when he starts standing and walking too, yea??
Steve and Sean, Thanks...
Steve, Impressive Avatar. An AZ'ers Dream...
