Several years ago, I purchased three John Davis blanks. I've had two of them made into cues by Paul Drexler. Still have a zebrawood that I'm trying to prove provenance on. I believe it was AZ billiards that had the lot, but I'm not sure. Trying to prove purchase and provenance so I can either sell the blank or have some cue builder make it into a cue for me.
Thanks

Why not post a clear picture of the whole blank and also the front here? I was John's only official blank dealer until he died. There are others who have had or still have a good number of his blanks but they were not dealers.

Did I buy mine from you?
 
Might reach out to a Cuemaker named Tim Prince. He lived south and east of Barrington Illinois off Rt 64. He was very close to John as well. He is in the Blue Book.

I visited John’s shop he had an incredible shop and number of forearms. Old kitchen wall cabinets full of forearms.

A wonderful guy and gentleman!

Good idea. I'll do that within a couple days. Been laid up in hospital and getting around the house slowly. Need to "fetch" the blank from my downstairs office. Gradually working strength up to do stairs. Wife would not know where to look.

Tim Prince ROCKS!
Super talented, and humble.
These are pictures of Joe Gold (Cognoscenti Cues) Joel Hercek and John Davis when we all went to lunch(Aug 2018) and then went to John Davis’ house & shop. Shown also: framed write ups on both John Davis & Tim Prince
