Hi Gil,
I'd normally contact you via PM or even phone but posting allows me to inform others about your great leather crafting skills and incredible customer service. Your demeanor with my case order ranks up there with my anecdotal story about the how gracious and understanding Mr. Bob Runde was when he made my custom Schon back in '85.
Azers...........Mr. Castillo is not only very talented but he offers incredible leather cue cases at extremely appealing prices. This past summer Gil crafted a Cognac Lizard 4x8 cue case for me that's just magnificent.
Gil, I previously carried a Tony Ryan oak wood extension strapped in its carrying case to my 3x7 Instroke Leather case which has an oval shape that accommodates strap attachment. I know you can produce a matching cognac lizard version of the case in the photo but I'm not sure how I might be able to attached it to the case you just made for me. The design I asked you to use when you made my case this past summer might not accommodate doing that but I thought it was at least worth posing the question.
Everyone listen closely......you will have to search long & hard to find a more honest, caring, truly talented leather-maker than Mr. Castillo. He's the only person when I need custom crafted leather goods for my pool playing needs. By the way, his custom leather chalk pouches are fabulous. Gil, the matching cognac lizard chalk pouch I ordered isn't really needed until next year because I just had rotator cuff surgery this month and that means no pool playing for me until 2014.
Thanks for the great buyer experience with the cue case you made for me this past summer.
Matt
