One wanted a 6 inch ferrule. (I didn't do it.)
Another ordered a cue to his exact special dimensions. (Built it just like he wanted it)
He then wanted the cue butt thinned down. (Did that.)
He had someone rewrap it with tape under it to make it thicker again. (Had me remove wrap and tape and rewrap it)
Brought it again and had me thin it down a little more.
Came again wanting me to build it back up with epoxy. (I think I did that)
Wanted it thinned down again. (Told him I never wanted to see the cue again and refused to do it)
He sold the cue then bought one with my regular dimensions.

A guy brought me a baseball bat he wants turned into a cue. I told him I couldn't promise anything but I'd give it a shot. I haven't done anything with it yet. Anyone ever done this?

I have built cues wrapped entirely myself. They were break jump cues and that saved me from having to put on a finish. Sounds like Mr Prisoner needed to stay in a while longer to get over his grudge.ratcues said:

I was at the hospital today and was looking at a door that was made from the exact center of the tree, you could see the spine and almost symmetrical patterns coming out from a VERY dark core. All I could think about was what kind of shaft that would make. Completely forgot about my dislocated shoulder. 
CamposCues,
The baseball bat thing. Yep , we have done that. Was madw from a 1995 Louisville slugger ash bat. Turned out prettu cool and is still going and hitting em great.
Our goofy request , had a guy come in and ask me to put a slip on ferrule and tip on his cue. Had a viking. Said in the long run wal-mart sells the replacement tips much cheaper than the tips I put on and the english those slip on tips get was unreal. After a dazed moment , I respectively declined.

This one is easy. I had a guy request that I inlay the stones from his wife's wedding rings, in a Q ,with the words " I STILL LOVE YOU". She had shot herself, after he had beaten her. I said NO & he's still pissed at me today...JER
I had a customer bring me two peice of marble 4"X4" X48". He wanted a cue made from this material. The butt and the shaft and he wanted it at 17oz.
Hell each peice was over 18 lbs. I told him I had no way to do that and would'nt take on that. He still calls about every 4 months or so to see if I have changed my mind.
What would you use to event cut that down?

I had guy bring in a walking stick that was made from a Bulls Penis. The thing was used by a Madam in a Whore House as her walking cane for 40 years. The thing was straight, but man I would not even touch it, to me it was nasty looking.
The gentleman was however serious, so I told him that he should contact a more qualified individual to make him a cue from it. That was a bad day!!

Rat Cues had me going with the walking tall stick,, but You blew his out of the water with that request. That's some funny %*?% now. I would have had to decline Myself on that one. Let someone more experienced polish that bad boy. Not My area
Cue Freak said:Lol, this is good stuff
I had friend ask me if I knew any cuemakers that would build a cue with a glass handle...I said no just because I didn't think it would be a good idea.
