**Post Pictures of your cue!**

[billabong]

Latest cue is now ready. Don't even know the specs, just that it played great when it was at an earlier stage of completion. .

Show me a pic our kid I reckon I should be able to tell.

I'll try get a pic up tomorrow, suppose it might be old maple, pear or hornbeam.

They say pearwood warps
They say pearwood is whippy
They say pearwood is very rare
They say pearwood splits
They say pearwood is very expensive
They say they wont make one


They know nothing!


I would not be surprised if the number of snooker cues not old billiards cues made of swiss steamed pearwood in the whole world was less than 50 nah make that 20.
I've had mine a few years now and there is no nicer shaft wood imaginable. smooth as the white of a hard boiled egg.
Got me a problem again with my camera so here's a link to Alice when she was born and a pic I've managed to upload here taken a few min ago where I've left my hand in view so you can see her true colour.

Nice cue Jim, I've just been refinishing my mates old cue and I'm sure that's pearwood, it's an old cue and looks too dark to be maple I think.

I've had mine a few years now and there is no better shaft wood imaginable. smoother than Barry White, the Drifters, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross all of them. Plays like Ash, is dead straight.

I can see most of the photos ( except two) looks good.

New projects to be started. I have not made cues in almost two years and these are 5 that I want to try. Should be completed in the next 3 weeks as these are weekend projects. In my previous attempts I shied away from using veneers but I am giving it a try this time. Plain designs. No multisplices. I will be posting these completed cues in the next few weeks. Shafts are bought in as I have no access to quality ash. Know some people may turn their noses at this but it is what it is.

Nice one good luck.
In my opinion no one should have an issue about bought in shafts, purely because of the fact that you have made it clear they are bought in.

I've never heared of there is a cue maker whose name is Mark Richard in China. Was it made in China or you just bought from China?
But never mind, so long as it plays well for you.

Well it's advertised as English made but I'd imagine they just switched the badge plays well tho very happy with it

I use Chrome, that's not the problem, instead of pasting the whole album, you need to paste each individual IMG code for each picture

That's a nice cue! :snooker:

[QUOTE=Tommykiid;894676]With my budget being very limited I went down the old Chinese route and was pleasantly surprised with what I got to be honest

The pictures look dim and couldn't see the badge.
You got it from China?

[itsnoteasy]

I still think that would only teach how to get a cue that looks good.

I'd rather have a rubbish looking cue that played well, than vice versa. . Only my opinion though. each to their own and all that. . .

Nope fair point Bong, I agree with you.

[mikeyd100]

Nice one Tommy, hope it plays well for you.
No reason that it shouldnt if it is made to a reasonable level.
