Oak

I think for 25.00 these would at least be dowels 1.5x18-20 with free shipping in con us. Its one of the most common species of wood in the US, I dont think because its curly that it makes it worth this price, Thats just my opinion and I have bought wood from you on many ocassions so this is not just a jab at what you are offering for sale. And besides I dont know any cue buyers looking to buy a cue made of Oak! Unless its a old titilist for conversion!

I would think that someone who's been on this forum for a couple of years would have learned not to crap on someone else's Sale thread. Very poor form.
 
Agreed, if you don't like it, just move on. Cue makers know that Bell Forest is reputable and fair. He's not asking for your opinion. And by the way, they dowel most sticks for just $1.

Well guys like I said, I have bought from them in the past, I was not my intension to crap on the thread, And I have alot of wood that I have bought from Eric that I thought was more than fairly priced and good quality. I have lots of wood on the back burners adding age to them for future cues, and also alot of times some woods are not allways avalible in stick form, I know, there are several species that I tried to get on more than 1 ocassion , so if you guys are unsatisfied with my post,I guess we could all just act childish and play the drama game and throw insults at each other over opinions, when we are not buying or selling anything, Eric sorry I was not trying to start anything or offend you personelly, I should have just passed up the thread! To all offended by my remarks on the thread sorry you feel the way you do on a simple sound economical stand point that I made about a price, you are right I should have just moved on and not read any farther or posted any remarks, but sometimes you do things that are impulsive. But we all make mistakes in the eyes of others, Eric and co workers at bellforest good luck with the sale thread,I dont begrudge anyone selling anything at any price,This is a great place to find cues as well as a great source of info that is shared freely by many. You know its just like cues we dont all see eye to eye or allways like the same qualities in things we see. Enough said!

Update

Some have been sold and some are still available. Not sure exactly how many because I haven't sorted through all the emails yet.

Hey Bob, no worries on the post. I can understand where you are coming from because red oak is the most common hardwood in today's commodity market. The problem is this isn't just any ordinary red oak. It is quite literally a one in a million piece of wood. Boone paid top dollar for this wood because he recognized how special it is. Our customers want the best, so we pay our loggers, mills, and importers to send us the best. And just because people aren't asking for an oak cue doesn't mean they wouldn't buy it. This stuff is sick and seeing it in a cue might change your mind! Oak and Hard maple are nearly identical in terms of hardness, weight, and specific gravity. So to me it seems like it would make a good cue. But I'm no cuemaker. Just the wood guy. Have a good weekend all.

Thanks Eric, Like I stated I should have just moved on and said nothing,And I have been happy with my past purchases from you. You may be right someone may like the oak in a cue I dont know! I didnt realize I was in vialation of rules by making the statements at your F/S thread so like I said sorry guys I truley didnt know. Eric if you want you could make them into dowels then I might just buy 1, and if you would throw in free shipping that would be a plus as well,LOL. Good luck with the sale,And I will still continue to check your website for woods that I dont have, I appricate the email up dates that you do send me on things that you do offer even if I dont need them. So I hope everyone is satisfied with this apoligy, I guess next time I will look befor I leap off the ledge to make sure its not a large hill. :grin:
