they are getting fancier
My latest mini cues

Send me your cue lengths and I will make one.
Your on John. I will PM you as soon as I get out of Vegas on Friday.
I'm getting there! Heres a cue rack that matches for size. A good friend and master woodworker made this for me after he received a mini cue from me. The detail in this far exceeds the cues.

I have made full size cues but I don't really have the proper equipment right now so I fake it

I like how "cute" they are. I know scaling them down, true to size, would result in some really thin material. A 3mm shaft would look silly.
These would be really neat personalized gifts. Have you ever inlaid one?
I think the cuteness level of a mini cue with a mini case by JB with a mini cue holder would make the forums blow up from not being able to contain so much cuteness in itself. Tweeten or Kamui or someone needs to make a full set of accessories for these, mini Master chalks and some mini-gloves!
I'm buying my son a pool table for Christmas/Birthday (His B-Day is Dec 4), how much would a mini pool table in about the same size as the cues be so I can stick one under the tree? No need to be fancy with it, I don't want an exact 30:1 replica of a Diamond Pro Am with working ball return hehe. I don't know the exact model I'm getting yet (still looking) so can be a generic looking thing.

mini-case would be awesome:thumbup:
Your correct on sizing. I have made these cues to be the correct proportions and they are frail and a real Biotch to make. At these dimensions they are durable. A few weeks ago in Denver a elderly player who lives in Denver and goes by the name of Georgia Boy got so excited when I showed him a cue that he threw his arms in the air and the cue went flying. It bounced for awhile and when I picked it up there was not a mark on it.
Actually these are quite nice. Scale and playable enough to actually learn quite a bit about the game. I learned on one of these when I was a kid.

I made a 4.5 x 9 inch table for my kid and it came out ok I only spent about 90 minutes on it so its not much but still cool.
I’d like replica of my Doc Frye if you’re interested. Pictured in Ava. Will send full picsSo far I have sold about 40 of these cues and given away another 15 or so.
I have made replicas of peoples cues and many originals also. I have also tried my hand at snooker cues. It gives me something to do with all those tiny pieces of wood that are just too good to throw away.
I can also reuse old tips

Replicas have always been difficult but Let me see the pics. I will PM you.
Still have my early Cuebuddy miniature. I am going to keep it, unplayed, until value hits $25,000. I am keeping it for sentimental value and I just have so much sentiment in me!
Seriously, a much appreciated gift.

Thank you
That was many years ago Hu. I am still amazed at your writing/story telling.
I would love to send you another, lets see how this winter treats me work wise.
Don't put anything in the mail to me without knowing where I am at. Ida the ho put me on the move again. I am about fifty miles from New Orleans now, a little closer than I was. The metropolis of Albany LA. Landed in some apartments for awhile. They allow pets but have a weight limit. If you hear of somebody mauled to death by thirty or forty yorkies it is probably me!(grin)
