I bought a GEM cue from you in 91 or 92. Drove 100 miles to pick it up personally at your shop in New Iberia, and I owned it for several years. It was sold during a liquidation sale after a divorce, one of 3 cues I regret selling to this day. From what I see in these pictures, you've only improved your art, and I can't believe these are still for sale and at such great prices for handmade cues. GLWS Gary, and I'll know how to get in touch with you should I save enough pennies! I don't suppose you could manage one of these beauties for what I paid for my 92 model? (just kidding)
