Review, Story, and Critique-New JB Custom Case
- Thread starter CocoboloCowboy
- Start date
Being perfectly honest Tom I am a very capable writer if I want to spend the time proof reading, editing, and getting it as good as I can I will do that. Like when I was a Photojournalist working out of Sacramento, and made my income off of my talents as a photographer, and writer. Call me a LAZY OLD RETIRED BUM.
Most of the time I am in a hurry, and if it is not my best effort that is what you get for nothing. Plus HONESTY!:wink:
Spent time doing the write up, editing my words, and putting effort in it. So you see what I can do if I feel like it.
No I do not only Play One Pocket, it is my favorite game, but if my One Pocket playing buddy is not around, and some one say 14/1, 8 Ball, etc., I will play.:smile:
New JB Case
Awesome case, and a great review, I thought you were just another pretty face.

Snark, this is ART. Cowboy commissioned a work of ART. He did not buy a Toyota instead of a Ford. ART does not know boundaries in creativity or geography. You don't have to possess ART to be able to enjoy it. Be happy that something so beautiful was created at which all of us can marvel.

Well I took the Case back over to the Community Leather Club again yesterday, as a couple of other members wanted to see the Pool Cue Case. More praise for JB CASES!
When I have the time, and inclination to add a few more comments I will as I have some other observations to share.
But I honestly unless you had the opportunity of looking at one of John Barton higher end works in person, the pictures do not do JUSTICE to the work.
I honestly think one need sit down for a half hour in good light to too see, and appreciate the amount of work that goes into one of these HAND TOOLED CASES. It take that amount of time to really see what is there, and examine each element of the work.
Last you have to remember like a Tattoo Artist working from a set of guide lines created with a stencil, for doing the Tattoo. It is the person who hands do the work with the electric needle that creates the final look look of the Tattoo.
In the case of this Pool Cue Case it was the hands of John Barton's, talented employee Zhen Hai, who get the credit for this unique one of a kind work of FUNCTIONAL ART.
Each of Mr. Zhen Hai work are unique, one of a kind, and some day I think Cue Case Collectors will be scrambling to add one to their collection.
Honestly you do not want to get a Tattoo, or pool Cue Case created by me as you would not be happy!:thud:

Great Review - Decision made.
I've been researching cases for a while now and after reading your review I'm finally settled on getting a case from JB.
Thank you for the very in-depth review. I'm not sure I need a "custom" case, but I will definitely look for a JB case. Maybe one of the Flowers tribute cases, maybe I'll wait for another great deal to pop up on the forums?
I wonder if that wonderful alligator print case sold that Karen posted? Only reason I didn't go after that one was I wanted more storage. Oh well, I'm sure another great opportunity will present itself.
Thanks again for putting the review together. Great job!

The Puzzle Latch is best explained in this U-Tube that I linked, the U-tube should answer your question about what the Puzzle Latch is made of, and how it works.
I honestly do not think you can go wrong with a Jay Flowers Tribute Case, recently JB Cases did a variation of the Jay Flower Tribute Case, Karen Barton posted photos.
The case was made for an Asian Lady going to the World Championships in the Philippines, I understand, it apparently turned a lot of heads when people saw the case.
One features that made this Pool Cue Case unique was how the Pocket Zippers, Zipped Wrapped Around the Square Pockets, for better access.
If you need more information on this, or have any questions about my case please PM Karen Barton, as she is lady to get your question answered.
**I honestly need to take a break from AZ Billiards Forum, I have some personal problems going on that I spoke of last week, they need my attention now.
No I am not leaving AZ Billiards Forum just taking a break, will be back when I have the time, and inclination to do so.
Happy Trails!

Now that right there is awesome. I absolutely love that chalk holder/JP holder. What an excellent add on to a case.
