  • Cue surgeon wanted!

    Looking for someone to undertake a project for me and is available without waiting months.

    Long story short. I bought a Hunt & O'Byrne 1 piece 23 years ago direct from their shop. I used it a few years and got someone local to lengthen it by adding splices at the bottom. They removed the badge and left the bottom blank (if only I knew what I do now ). I sold it and have recently tracked it down. It is in a right old state as someone has literally sawn off a few inches off the end and used it for pool.

    I'm looking for someone who could re-splice a new plain ebony butt onto it. It needs a new ferrule, refinish, dents fixed, re-weighting etc and I would like a butt joint fitted. It wouldn't please the arrow lovers on here as it isn't pretty but it has a really tight straight side grain and I reckon it could be a player again. If they could add a 'customised' badge, or badge with my name on or just leave it blank that would be great.

    I just want it looking like new again. It wouldn't be sold as it is just to see how it would play and there is sentiment involved as it is the cue I got my PB with many years ago!

      Hi looking at your location not sure if you are wanting to send it by post but if you are ok with that , i would give Dave Brown a call from Craftsman Cues in Kippax Leeds as he did a similar job for me and 3 days later my cue was finished but i did drop it off and collected it as only 26 miles from me but no big waite , i rang him he said yes and i took it the next day so a full turn round in a few days top fella too happy days :snooker:

                most if not all could carry such work.

                Like you have mentioned, timescales play a big part, cost could also play a factor.

                Why not call or email a few of the names you know and go from there.

                All the best.
