Thank you for the kind words everyone.
I had sent Mike Cochran a brand new TS cocobola and he was going to build me something a little more fancy. Well Mike passed away and my cue was not around anymore so I just let it go. A couple years later Nick Serdula and I were talking cues and he learned about the cue I lost. I explained I don't feel I was owed anything but unbeknownst to me he goes ahead and tells Tim. Sometime last year I get a surprise package from Tim. It's a brand new Cocobola Hoppe with SS joint, radial pin, 2 ivory shafts and just plain gorgeous.
So again a big thanks to Tim and Nick.
Cue is still unplayed but only because I already have a TS i play with full time.
