Jason Owen - Cue Guru Cues

[JasonOwen]

So that's a no?
Even if I was passing your house one sunny day and I wanted to pop-in and place an order?

Youd have to catch me on a very good day and have a case of Magners under your arm!
Seriously tho, No.

It was a one off as Graham had moved locally and luckily I had a few shafts ready.

Can anyone come along to pick a shaft or is it just for people you know?

Just me cos I am amazing! :P

Haha jokes aside, Jason is a top bloke (he barely even flinched when I almost dropped his whole supply of exotic woods onto the floor DOH!)

further jokes aside.. After having been through many many cues by the very top cue makers of this world, I can honestly say that this guys work is fantastic. I have this annoying habit of only wanting the best money can buy and having compared a recent 'big name' cue maker's work with Jason's latest pieces, they are not only comparable but in certain aspects his cues are aesthetically superior. With Jason, you don't pay extra for a 'select shaft' or 'Ultimate shaft' you get one as standard.

I can't yet vouch for how they play (and of course every cue will play differently anyhow) but if my immediate order reflects my confidence in his workmanship; then I can see this chap going very far indeed in this business. Will only be a matter of time before his waiting lists mount up with the quality he is producing.

I had Graham "Poona" in the workshop this week picking a shaft for his cue, he didnt look too keen to touch anything for the coating of dust lol

Smashing cues but how on earth can you keep your workshop so clean.

Andy,
I worked as a factory Manager and have cleaning up and tidy workspaces ingrained into me.

I have dust extractors on all machines now, also have a proper Hoover that I use on the lathe and bench, also have an air filtration unit running all the time I'm working and last but not least I have a brush.
I also replace the work top on my bench with hard board quite often.
After all that I still feel its a mess in there, dust just coats everything.

I was thinking the same thing, and in every cue presentation pic to. I thing he does all the work in another workshop
