Hi Gang!

Got some pics in from Skip Weston of my cue and a buddy's cue nearly finished. Mine is the wrapless one with the ivory windows in the butt-sleeve. Enjoy!

Great looking cues with razor sharp points. These cues will look 100 x's better when they are polished up and ready to play. Let us know how they hit... btw, how long was your wait for these cues?
 
Deposit made in March 2004 with an estimated delivery time of September 2004. Made some slight changes to one cue and will be taking delivery of both cues this week (December 2004). Can't wait!!!

Well I just left Skips and sorry Iron.. there was a small problem and he will be calling you today. Seems like one of the cues spun off center in the lathe and bounced off the bed and lets just say.. well toothpicks come to mind. :(















psyche.. :D they actually look very nice. He has a couple of cues in the finishing stages. One is a very nice 6 pointer SW cue. Out of cocobolo and tulipwood and let me say.. its really, really nice. It has a birdseye handle and all six points are LONG. He has ONE extra Hoppe cue available thats very basic with Ebony, vera (green), permambuco (orange) and maple veneers with a hoppe ring bordered in the vera. Anyone interested should e-mail him.

yet another tribute to the master of cuemaking. it's amazing how many of Gus Szamboti's ideas are implemented in modern cuemaking. I guess classic designs never die. Those are beautiful cues made in a very tradditional style. If they hit as good as they look, you may never miss a ball.
 
I'm waiting to see them with a glossy coat of finish! I had my Skip for almost a month now and still haven't gotten around to taking photos of it...

and btw, that was a cruel thing to do Joe =)
