Big pin / Flat Ivory Joints Are My Favorite Style Pool Cue.
My Runde Schon is too heavy for my tastes (20.4 ozs)
The Palmer was my very first pool cue and was retired.
The photos are the cues that I carry in a 6x12 cue case.
Weights & shaft sizes are closely matched intentionally.
(EP cue TS cue , 2 BO cues and 2 Jerry R. cues)

I'm still in the process of building my room, so mind the mess. Also, I've just never felt the need to collect so mine's pretty slim pickings if you're an aficionado. The two missing cues from the wall rack are a Viking and a McDermott NG01 that belong to a friend.
My guest cue rack is currently being used to store pole sanders and squeegees for various renovating projects so no pictures of that for now. The rack on the wall is where everything I current use goes.
From left to right are in order from when I bought them:
Dufferin Classic
Dufferin Windsor + Wellington combination
Dufferin Grenadier
Dufferin Sneaky Pete
Arnot Q Wadsworth custom
McDermott NG05 (Break)
McDermott BG05 (Jump)
Predator Cognac CRM
McDermott Lucky house cue
McDermott Lucky house cue
McDermott Lucky house cue
Elite (Break)

Or you can just ignore the thread and keep to yourself.
YOU personally might not want to see that much detail--but not everyone is over the hill and been around the game for 40-50 years. This is the most inactive forum I've been on anyway--and you think people actually look much outside the main forum??
Less talk...more pictures.
Are production cues even allowed in "The Gallery"?
Hey why not. A collection is a collection.....and everything becomes collectable someday.
When I lived in Barrie, just north of Toronto many years ago, there was a club racing group that used to gather across the street on Saturdays. I would watch them from a distance, weaving their tuned up little cars through the pylons and egging each other on for small bets here and there.
I decided to go over one day for the show and lone-behold a nice red Ferrari pulls up. It's owner looked pleased with himself, a lawyer if I recall correctly. Smug with his purchase he roared through the slalom course posting a good time. Best of the day I think at that point. He boasted about how good he was, and how no one there could touch him with their, "wrecks".
Another of the regulars, offered a sizeable bet. The lawyer laughed, looking beyond the club driver to his mighty Reliant "K" car and offered to triple the wager. I was in shock, a college student at the time, with these guys offering up 5-figure bets. And on a K-car vs a Ferrari none-the-less. (I don't recall the model but maybe a 355?) Not sure...
At any rate, the club driver raced on with it's wobbly 13" tires screaming and beat the lawyer by more than 7 seconds. With a 4-cylinder Dodge mass-produced grocery-getter. I learned a lesson that day that had been paraded on RSB for ages, "It's not the Indian ..."
PS: I included my sprinkler and a tree loper in my pictures.
Sure I can believe that scenario is possible but keep in mind, when you give a 2 year old a knife and fork, it doesn't mean they'll know how to use it.
The Indian still has to know how to use the specific arrow they're shooting with.
At the very outside there are possibly 600 people in the world who can play world class pool out of a population in excess of 6 Billion. At that level the arrow matters, not below it. Are you the 1 in 10 million? If so, Mike can add a black tag to your name.
Oh, and BTW, 3 of my cues are 1 of 1. Two of the Dufferins were prototypes from when Elizabeth still owned the company. The sneaky I've seen go for upwards of 4K depending on who's bandsaw cut it in half and added a joint to it.
Oh and I watched, in person, one of the RSBers take 2nd to a pro in a tournament of internet posters with nothing more than a house cue pulled off a rack. It was in Titusville, FL, before AZ even existed. He's not a pro, not one of the 600, and I would put money on him.
Also, you still haven't countered my sprinkler. Or the loper. Pics or it isn't real.
Let's stop talking talking and start looking at your toys. I'm interested.
I cant even bring myself to respond to this.:killingme:
One of the reasons I've started to learn cue-building I wanted to use exactly what I do like in a cue. So when I decide to build a cue I try to do it so I would be happy to play with it. I'm looking forward to have some fun with all my future projects.
For the time being here is my current regular 62" fullspliced player with some amazing woods to enjoy which I really do.

What does any of that have to do with the price of tea in China?
There is no ‘T’ in China
Reading is fundamental....:slap:
That's one of the most beautiful and sublime cues I've seen in a while.
