Really like the look of the Eureka Jason.Got any longer lengths of tulipwood yet?

That is going to be stunning.

I cant wait to get some oil on it, the cocobolo grain should look amazing against the ebony.

Ha, ok bud..

So the numbers are irrelevant really as far as 'order' is concerned. But i guess with numbering it is going to be easier to to trace back if needed, if you keep records etc..

In this age of the wide web etc...I think more makers should use numbers and keep records so they can be dated to time of build, a few stats, maye pics too..for future ref etc...

Cally,
On my site I have got a registry of all cues, the relevant number with a brief description. The idea being that in 10 yrs when one of my cues appears on eBay then the prospective buyers could check its authenticity on the site.
Plus I have pics of every cue I've made.

Regarding numbers, I think that people will get the general idea of when a cue was made.

How about marking your replicas under the badges, or something like that or we could have the next generation of antique cue collectors cursing Jason Owen in 25 years time!

I'll take that as a compliment
On this cue I have signed the back of the badge in a perm marker. Plus photos will be on my site which hopefully will be about in 25yrs.

Looking good Jason...

Just wondering.... How come your badge numbers are so all over the place, i mean how come we see pics of say number 035 next number 60 odd?

Don't you do them in order?


Anyway, looking real good fella...

Ant..

This chap ordered 5 cues and wanted specific numbers so I obliged.
In general I don't mind any number being chosen below 80 as long as its available.
I just go back then and fill the gaps with stock cues or ones for people who don't request a certain number.
It will all come right in the end, I wont go over number 80 until all are filled.

Is that main butt splice African blackwood?

The main splices are a dark Macassar ebony. The oil finish has made it even darker.
