    Probably was, that shop seems to be right where i remember getting it, but can't be sure, it's 28 years ago...
    I actually got 6 cues now so that statement about getting older must have some truth in it

    Don't have that cue anymore either, turned out to be a bad one, if only i had known about the existance of JP back then.

    Don't remember who has those cues now.
    Got the craftsman in '95 from a friend and that one i still have.
    I still have nightmares about selling my Thurston for a night out , what a muppet I was

    I can’t remember how it happened but there was about a year when I played competitive matches with a rack cue i picked up at my club one night. In fact I think it was the cue before the Thurston. I didn’t have much money then to spend as I was a junior. The problem you’ve got once you get older is having more money, this means more cues to pick from.

    Im going to try to stick to my Riley I’ve only bought recently after returning to the game. I’m already tinkering with the idea to do some alterations to it .....

    I haven't played with this cue since circa 1994, instead favouring a vintage one piece Burroughs and Watts maple beauty!
    Have you got a picture of your B & W ?, I love the old billiard cues.

    I used to have an old Thurston back in the day which would have been a couple of years before the JP was made for you. I play with an old EJ Riley.

    by all means get a one piece cue for the fun of it, but never let that one go!

    great looking cue - love old Craftsman cues.

    Finally found a few minutes to get a some photos of my cue uploaded.

    It's an old Craftsman cue, no idea if it has a model name, I've owned it since I was around 15/16?? So over 20years old...

    Yeah received it a few days ago. Actually my second be ultimate. Flawless cues. I based this design off a crispian Jones kingfisher but without the veneers. And wanted each splice to be different exotic wood. One of a kind.
