until then theres a couple of maple cue rescues starting to take shape

[Ninja.cues]

You are doing a lovely job on them and rescued a Mannox but with a maple shaft that was being used as as rest in a pub...
Some idiot had also cut almost 3 inches of the bottom because the burr had fallen off!!
Looking forward to that but may end up keeping that one, not that i don't have enough lol

A very big thank you to Jason for the wonderful cue he made for me that was featured earlier. A terrific playing and absolutely fantastic cue worthy of mention. All words have been said about him and his work in previous posts and I fully agree with them. Great cuemaker, understanding, prompt in replies and gives out great advice. Handmakes them from a block of wood right till the end product at a fraction of the cost of other cuemakers, but not inferior in quality and playability. Fully recommend him to anyone who is looking to make that perfect cue at very reasonable prices and constant work status updates, photos and videos.
Kudos to you mate. Like what everyone else is suggesting, time to get a badge and make your presence known, though I don't get to enjoy that badge of repute. Cheers mate and keep up the good work always.

What is the reason you don't badge your cues Jason?

[j6uk]

time mainly, but it is going to happen if i dont get hit by a bus.
the other thing is the business side and being inundated with orders that the craft of a handmade cue or i should say a cue made by hand cant handle

[j6uk]

..and the badge would have to say:

genuinely
handmade
for less than
minimum
wage

have a heart attack on the 6th cue. cant wait

Lol! Yep - can understand that. Once you create a "brand" with a badge there probably becomes an expectancy to produce as required by demand. I guess you need to protect that fine line of it being enjoyable and provivng extra income as opposed to becoming a burden.

Lovely craftmanship , hope you keep enjoying it. ; )
