Was just curious. It isn't libel if it's true

The entire county he and I live in know he is not trustworthy and a fraud . It’s a small community he treats people with total disrespect behind their back of course .

I like his cues too and now I'm sad that a California cue maker is like this.

One thing I could always brag about is our great cue makers here.

You can get work done from a lot of great talents.

I know all this has been discussed in length with in previous threads . I’ve personally know Pete since 2017ish . I’ve helped him out in the shop a bit in the past we’ve helped each other through the years . Having spent lots of hours with him I hear how he talks and thinks about his customers and fellow cue makers .


He doesn’t really care about any of his customers at all excluding J&J cues and some wealthy collectors and women he is trying to court . He purposefully holds back on customers who contact him about work in progress and also repairs (I’ve heard him say oh they called so their cue is going to the back of the shop ) . I paid in full over 6 years ago for a cue that was basically finished it just needed a day or two of work .


Countless excuses over and over . Bold face lies about what’s going on . After this much time has gone by and hearing how he handles his other customers I know I will never get what I paid for . He is cowardess a lair and a thief taking peoples money knowing full well he’s not going to deliver. He has lost all respect from locals in our area he only uses people to his benefit.


I hope people are aware of his shenanigans and do not buy from him . As good as a cue maker he is he doesn’t deserve to own a business doing so . There are so many similar stories about him out there .

Keny Davis is another thief I paid for a cue over 11 years ago I can't even get a response from him. It's strange that people can operate like this and stay in business.
