One Rack Friday week 3. We take time out on Fridays to shoot one rack of pool for bragging rights for the week. Sorry about the front facing camera reverse image footage. I am no video guy. So now 3 things learned. No music, no 4k UHD, and no front cameras on Facebook Live. Oh and I guess a ball on the break would be nice too. Matt – 2 / Scot – 1
There is other stuff too that went out, but we don’t take pics of shaft work and some other things. If any of these are your cues you should see them in a day or so. Or check your email for tracking information.
1 Rack Friday. We take time out to shoot one rack for bragging rights on Friday’s. Couple things… losing sucks lol. And no more 4K ultra video (that thing took 4 hours to upload). Next week we shoot it live on Facebook and then import the video here. SCORE Matt – 1 / Scot – 1.
Some ask do I make cues. Laughing… then I’d have to give up sleeping.
When this Tim Scruggs cue arrived Matt was saying how much he liked it. I wasn’t paying much attention, but now that I’m working on it I have to say I really dig the spears on top of the notched diamonds. Points have similar inlays. We will be sure to post the finished work in the gallery when done.
We got this cue in on trade, and did a full refinish on it. It rolls straight apart and together. It weighs 19.1oz, and the shaft is 12.8mm. Don’t let this deal pass you by. Payments received before 2pm ship same day.
Here are some of the cue finish jobs that are on their way back to their home this Tuesday afternoon. These cues will be show in detail in the cue gallery as soon as we load them up.
Well hey I just look at weekends as another couple days that end in y. Here’s a little of what I’m working on on this nice rainy day here in Pennsylvania.

When I am not spinning cues on the lathe I can usually be found goofing off on the pool table with reckless abandon… cir. 2010

A guy contacts us about a cue he bought at an online Facebook yard sale and sure enough it is a Black Boar that I had refinished about 20 years ago for a local and one of the countries largest cue collectors, Abe Wambold. Abe had the joint laser etched and had a jeweler inlay diamonds in the ivory stars. The cue is sans logo because the butt cap is ivory. After Abe had passed away we helped the family sell off the billiards side of the estate. This cue was set aside as a keepsake for the family as it was one of his personal playing cues. Well so all that said the cue ended up online. The guy who bought it (a wounded in combat veteran – thank you for your service) brought it in to get the cue polished and wrap cleaned and pressed. Real nice guy, after the work ended up going across the street to the VFW and put back some beers and played a few games of pool. I said you don’t have to answer, but don’t mind if I ask how much did you pay for this? He bought this, a McDermott cue, and a leather case that they were all in for…… a hundred and fifty bucks ($150). SMH Oh my. God Bless America!
