Here is the link to my newest pair of cues. They have elk horn handles are heavily inlayed matching shooting and jump cues. The shooting cue has the largest gems I have ever set in a cue. There are about 16 carats of rubies and emeralds in these two cues.
Never shown any of my cues on here so I thought I would show you these two. What do you think about the design?

It is not buck horn but is Elk Horn. I spent almost $300 on two large sets of Elk Antlers and what you see is about all the pieces that would work for handles. The marrow in one set of antlers was much to large to use. So it was all no good. The other set gave me those pieces. Bought them off of ebay. Come around The Pool Room or Mr Cues 2 during one of their larger tournaments and you can hit a ball with one of our cues. I have squeezed in less than 12 cues a year for the last few years, but am now back to building a little more cues. Most of my really high end cues have wound up in collectors collections and are rarely shot with. That is a shame, but I sent a $3900 cue to Chicago a few weeks ago and the guy is shooting with it. It seems like $600 to $1500 is the price range that has been selling best lately and they are shooting with them so you should run into some here and there. Are you still in Georgia or back in Texas?

hey chris im back in ga....i had to come home for medical reasons to do with my cancer......it has been a on going thing and im in the midst of a years worth of chemo to see if or anything can be done......im just waiting to get a few monetary things in order so as to get the monies i feel i need to get a machine from you and start back doing cue work and build some basic cues....not going to try to build any more than maybe 20-25 cues a year,nothing fancy either.....as im not able to work due to my disability........and cuemaking is something i really love and it is someting i can make my own....i have seen lots of talk about machinery and unless i was going to try my hand at big time cuemaking i feel there isnt any machine out there better than what you build....as i have owned one and had the opportunity to work on other.....by far the best for what i want and need....so just be patient and ill be up to see you soon with monies in hand.....take care and again nice work , juston
