Post Pictures of Your Skip Weston Cue(s) Here!

The cue is absolutely gorgeous, those veneers are f'ing unbelievable (that's how strongly I feel about the cue, strongly enough to get banned for it, lol).

No offense Sean but Zeeder's photos of that cue really zings it up, perhaps he could post them again here.

Brilliant!

How do you manage to post such large files? I am a computer idiot, and have to resize my pics to miniatures to post here.

The cue is awesome, I will definitely add a 5 veneered Skip to my collection before long.

Thanks for posting,
Roger

I host them on the webspace provided to me by the university. I believe that you can use photobucket and link the photos as well. If the place that's hosting your files allows you to link directly to the file then you simply do the following:

<img>http://whatevertheurlis.com/yourpicture.jpg</img>

You will have to replace the < > with [ ] to get it to work however.

Thanks for that info. So basically I load up my photos on the website, and link it to my posts here...then there is basically no limit to the file size?

I think I got it.

Thanks again, and beautiful pictures...I might have to get a few pointers re lighting and camera settings, lol.

Thanks for the compliments! I have to say that I have a lot of work to do still on the proper light setup and camera technique! I might replace the bulb I broke in one of my lights and fool around with it this weekend. I definitely need to get some decent pictures of my Skip!!

No complaints at all with the cue,just got tired of the same cue like the rest of us do with all our cues and did a deal.Wish I had it back but it was sean's first! Its hard to hold onto a cue when you see something else out there you want!:D

Thats my problem. lol I cant control myself. Too many nice cues out there.
 
I posted this a while ago but I think I should add it in this post.
Sorry about the quality of the pics.
This is my first custom cue and I am still thinking I couldn't have chosen a better cuemaker (for my budget). Living in the UK I had little chance of seeing any custom cues as there's only a couple of people in the whole country that collect pool cues (and they both have amazing collections!) so I chose Skip after reading some posts here. The result was great :D

Lisa's Skip :o)

Here are a couple of more pics of my Skip. You can better see the grain and color in these photos, than in the previous pics I have posted. A big thanks to 'lunchmoney' for the pics he took with his fancy dancy digital camera!! :D

The cue absolutely perfect in the hands....perfect weight and balance point, and it plays as only Skip's cues can play! We're getting along just fine...Lol. The cue is absolutely stunning in person...and I just cannot thank Skip enough for crafting such a beautiful cue for me; simply flawless. I couldn't be happier!!!!!

Here is a Skip that I used to own. I hope the new owner doesn't mind me posting the pictures here. Although after all of the threads about photograph copywrites I guess since they're my pics I can do what I please with them...lol.
