I will guess the top cue as Nitti and the middle cue as Stout. I have no clue on the bottom cue.
 
Nice guesses but no. Another hint, they are all made by the same cue maker! The top one is about 5 or 6 years old and the bottom two are over 10 years old! The middle cue is one of only 3 cues he used a c & c machine on. At the moment, he has about a 4 -5 year wait on a customer designed cue.
 
What is the OLNEY cue to use? You guessed it! Jeff Olney Custom Cues! I have had the bottom two since he first started making nicer(more detailed) cues and have yet to find another Olney that I like better(yes, semi bias cause these are mine!). I came across the first one about 2 years ago. I fell in love w/ the large block of ivory in the butt and the 6 almost invisible endless points. His points are so sharp in this cue, its hard to tell when they stop. With a good camera(or up close) you can see all the grains in the ivory ovals and in the rings, so cool. I've been an Olney fan almost as long as he has been making cues.

I recently "learned" how to jump so I picked up a jump cue of his(pic. 4 & 5). And of course, jumps w/ ease. He is truely one of the most underrated cue makers. I will post all the cues together later today so you can see them in full.

Here are some other pictures. After our state tournament in April, Jeff is going to refinish the curly wrapless one and then he is gonna have some professional pictures taken of it(hopefully w/ my matching cue he is making for me atm!) I'm sure they will turn out alot better than my 4mp digital camera!

Thanks. I didn't really expect anyone to guess Jeff unless they have been in his shop and seen my cues pictured on his fridge. I'm "hoping" to pick up my next one in May! He is hoping to have it done then. So I guess I will "plan" on getting it in July!
 
I know it's obviously late, but my initial guess on the 2nd cue was a Stout also.
 
Brad, when are you going to sell me that bottom cue with the curly handle. Jeff O
as soon as you build me another one that looks JUST LIKE IT!!! HAHAHA
How is my other cue coming? Hopefully you are still on track for may-june.
I also have another cue idea in mind. Maybe this one wont take 3 years!!!
I will stop up after vnea state this week/weekend and see what ya think. Keep up the awesome work and "Winky" wants to know when you are gonna go back out on the road with him! lol
