Cues look awesome! Where are you based? I'm looking to purchase a new cue, now my trusty Rileys one has split.

looking good, your on a roll,
Was the hornbeam harder to work with? or like maple/ash
and what does it play/feel like?

I’ve only played with a few hornbeam cues and they all played very similar. The white seemed to leave the tip slower, like a delay, then as CB contacts OB it livened up and the white just keeps going.. The workings are good as with maple but you really have to look as the grains are not so defined.

Lovely work , been following for some time , do you have any cues currently for sale ?

Great work Jason, most of those old machine spliced cues are weighted terribly aren't they, just a slug of metal bar drilled into the end, most not even central and no thought of balance at all,just get them above 14 oz's and roll them out. One wonders how much better the old timers could have been with the choice to have something decent in their hands.

Here is the second of the two I’m bringing along together..
The weight was in the wrong position and terribly offset, and for such a good shaft it was worth the effort to remaster

Cue below is under reconstruction, to maximize
its potential for modern playing conditions..

I have worked on it, cutting out all the old imperfections, up to where it’s now ready for reconstruction.

English 8ball

Below are three vintage billiard cues. 140cm, and I believe all could be converted into fine English 8ball cues.
Please comment if this is of interest for the coming season, or your a player/ experience with 8ball cues..
