i guess i need a photography lesson
there's things, white spots, particularly on the buttsleeve, showing in pics that aren't visible on cue.
what am i doing wrong????

anyway, forget the crappy pictures for now
this cue is going to steph (staffi01) in germany
he was one of the first guys from az to get a cue from me way back when
actually, he bought two, brunswick conversion playing cue & later, a jumpbreak
both of those cues were done on my repair lathe, before i had my metal lathe
then, i did not have the ability/tooling to do what i can do now
you gotta have the right tools, period.
no if ands or buts about that
i always wanted to get another cue to him , since he was one of the first to have faith in me, so here it is

nice cue brent!

those white spots look like your lights being reflected off the cue. (it might even be a light bouncing off the shaft onto the butt) you might want to use a single light source or a larger light source - pictures outside on a sunny day are often best.

i live in cincinnati.
we haven't had sunshine forever!!! ;)
most of it is reflections and dust.
i wiped cue down with windex first.
seems like that attracted the dust more
oh well, i know that crap isn't really in the cue​
 
Great looking cue Brent. Quick question for ya. Where did you get that bumper you used on that cue?
thanks
 
Very nice looking cue - Awesome work.
But I guess you and I need some lessons on photography. :D

TNX for posting the pictures,
Myron

Nice cue Brent! Stephan did actually show pictures in the german forum so i bet you´ll get some orders from Europe in the nearest future.
The pictures themselves could be improved with a software like Photoshop or Microsoft Picture it. Photographing by daylight is always the best. Otherwise you need a flashlight system for a lot of money...
Wish you well,
Karsten

My new BHQ

Hi there,

i got the cue last Thursday and was able to play with it two times now.

And what can i say: THANK YOU BRENT FOR THIS GREAT CUE!!!!

It plays the way i thought it would be. Very much forward balanced, so the cue does most of the work while hitting a ball. Very good feedback and very much effect on the cue ball. Giving draw and english is very easy with the cue and it plays really exactly.

The finish is great too!! It looks much better in person than in the pics.

The craftmanship on the cue is not perfect yet, but Brent, you are on the way to perfection!!!!!

For sure, this is not the last cue i ordered from you.


Again, thanks a lot for this beautyfull player!!!!


Regards from Germany,
Stefan

Hi Brent,

again, the cue is great and within playing about 4 hours ==> I LOVE IT!!!!

And i´m very proud of the cue, too. Cause it looks really really great!!!


You´re the man where everybody get´s the most cue for the money, for sure!!!


I hope you can sell much more cues to Germany. I´ll do some advertising work for you here. :D


Always great hearing from you,
Stefan
