My first 2

[Exile]

Hi guys,

Not posted in a while. Been busy getting married, buying houses and becoming a father.

I've been repairing for a while but have decided to start making cues from scratch. Here are my first 2 in progress. Both will become English pool cues and have been ordered by good friends.

Thanks

I wondered what happened to you. Getting married, buying houses and having kids. And you still have time to build a few cues. My hats off to you sir!

What are you building these on? Did you ever figure out a way to use the smithy?

Nice work by the way. Can't wait to see them done!

These 2 are old skool. A hand plane and lots of patience. The butts are turned and sanded on my lathe though.

Still needs some finishing off but I had a few frames with it tonight and it plays lovely.

I think the owner should be pleased with it.

Very nice, always liked the dignity a fine Snooker Cue gives itself.

Happy and proud that I can officially call myself a cue maker at last.

First cue sold to a very happy customer.

Badges have arrived and are ready to go in. it took 3 weeks to get them here but it's been worth the wait. I'm really happy how they turned out and people seem to like the black and gold one best.

Nice cues. I have yet to make a butterfly cue but you have inspired my to do so. Great job.
