I heard that Richard is no longer taking orders for any of his cue's. That he is going to retire ?

Well, I guess I could always give him a call.

Richard's reply

" I have drastically reduced the number of cues I make a year (because of advancing years and not so great health)- but will only retire when I lose either my eye sight or my health. I love what I do and have even MORE passion for it today than when I started. Hopefully I will have another ten years left to create. "

He said this today...:smile:

He's still making cues. As a matter of fact, he just recently got a new machine & is looking forward to trying some new stuff with it. He was a bit sidelined after the hurricane due to not having power for awhile.

2009 will be his 35th year making cues. :cool:

How old is Mr. Black?
 
Thanks for the info guy's.

I heard from someone that he going to retire, I'm glad he's not.

Richard made me a cue in 03 that was great. I met him at the DCC in 06, what a a gentleman.

Thanks again for the update.

Wishing Mr. and Mrs. Black Happy New Yr-best wishes

I've spoke with richard via e-mail, He's (70) Richard will be working on my cue very soon,his Japanese orders are his back up.(He's almost caught up) and he is training 2 others. I asked Richard if he was going to be at the Hopkins Expo, He said heck no he got food Posioning at the expo or the derby- I can't remember which. Richards Shop is fabulious,his home too is on the lake. I was there 14 yrs. ago , He showed me his wears then and I am looking forward to doing it again. Just look in the Blue BKs, Billiards Encycopedia there are many fabulous pictures of cues. Mark
