Hi Dave,

Good to see what you look like - much different than I pictured from your voice. I figured a blond, surfer kid. You never know!

Basically, what I'm trying to say is that you better learn to know Gene by his face, walk, etc., because he's been known to have all sorts of hairstyles, in the past. He and his boys sometimes like to see who can come up with the most outrageous style, just for fun. It's sort of a family challenge game.

I could post all sorts of interesting "styles" they've come up with, but I figure I should be nice, if I want my next custom cue to be one I can use, not one I have to remove from my skull. :grin: :grin:
 
A secret in Tidewater area of Virginia! One of the best Cuerepairman/ Cuemaker. Did I mention a great Poolplayer. I'm talking about none other than Dave Bollman of Virginia Beach, Va, House Pro/ Cuerepairman/Cuemaker at Qmaster Billiards [home of the US 9Ball Open]

Are the boys over at Parrot Cue still still in business?

Josh

Yes 100% , I just talk with Rayman last friday. Repair shop is man from 4 to 8 pm at the Playing Field. Todd still making cue from his home last two years. since moving from the original store location. Which I miss greatly.

Since only repair [minus a little dust] can been done at Billiard Room. It hard to get ahold of Todd. A course you will get Rayman a nice person and does great ferrule and tips repair.

As some know Dave Bollman have two shops setup, a small one at Shooter Billiard [original Q-Master] in Norfolk, Va. Which burnt to the ground a few years back, he lost numerous of items from that fire.

His present shop located in Virginia Beach,Va at Q-master and his display rack is alway fill with ready to sell cues. Best Sneaky Pete around. Earlier years he would get his shafts work done at Tony Shop [Black Boar].
