Who's building your next cue(s)??

Next Cue Build

My next cue is being made by Kenny Morrell. Delivery due sometime in the fall. Chechen Burl butt/points, Heartwood Birdseye forearm, four veneers, hoppe butt, ivory joint, leather wrap. Old school.
 
My new cue is still in the design stage and while I've picked a builder for it, it's really up to him if he wants to take the project on. It will be a butterfly spliced cue with Ebony, Holly, and either BEM or something similar.

Why did I choose the maker? The easiest way to explain it is this:

If I see a cuemaker on AZ or their website say that everyone else is wrong, or customers don't understand, or they just have arguments in general I won't deal with them. It's a red flag for me. I don't need angry people around me, life's too short.

The maker I picked has experience with butterfly splices and doesn't get into arguments over payments, returns, politics, Kamui chalk, etc. I also chose to go with a pair of OB Classic blanks for the shafts for the same reason, Royce is a great guy to hang out with, and I like his products.

Image, manners, and talent all matter.
 
I have three cues on order. I am not when (or if) I will see any of them though:

Joel Hercek
Kenny Koo
Dennis Searing

I'm having a cue made by Ernie Martinez. It will have 6 points, 1 or 2 recuts, made of very dark cocobolo & East Indian Rosewood & I even picked out a very rich color brown leather wrap. The rest is too early to tell, but I love it so far. It will also have some of Ernie's elegant inlays. I can't wait...but I have to :).

I hope me, if not I spent a lot of money on lathes and wood for nothing. I hope some day to get a Jake Hulsey(LGSM3).Doubt I will be able to afford one after the show this weekend!

I think Barry will make one for me sooner or later?

But we haven't talked about it for a couple years.

Don't wanna be too pushy.
 
Current cue being built by Jim Baxter.

Next cue will be a Lambros.

Hopefully at some point a Pete Tonkin.

After that we will see.

I don't like to wait on the build times so I typically buy cues that are already built and for sale that I like.

Who is...

Building my next cue? The nice folks at SouthWest. Ordered in 2001 and per Laurie delivery this August.

Why? Cause when I got bit by the cue bug, SW was the first, so 11 years later its finally coming... 6 point ebony/ebony wrapless with full ring pack.

Who else I got coming? Hercek and Showman. Time will tell...

My current player is a Hercek, worth the wait.
Enjoy your new Southwest
 
Thanks Pocono- did you get your Hercek directly from him or in the second hand market? I heard his wait times are pretty lengthy as well. But from what I've seen n read well worth it.
 
JoeyinCali aka Joey Bautista. There is a picture in the cue gallery in one of his threads. Be a beautiful cue.

Odds are he will build the cue after this one too. I try to keep one on order with him at all times. Really like how his cues play, how they look, and I like dealing with him. He takes his time in building a cue, and I don't mind that at all. Know he likes everything to be just right before he sends one out, to me that is important.

I'd like to order another Tucker as well.

I have alot of custom cues on order some are my design.
But I hope to be trying one of my own cues with 6 to 8 months.
Dont want to cowboy the shafts .
I will be happy with a pj wrapless.

I'm also having an Olney cue being built right now.
