A little of what is leaving the shop this afternoon.
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.
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.
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.
New on the work order form is a check box if you want to pay with PayPal. You will be emailed an invoice that you can click on and pay from. I know I know it’s taken about 20 years to get on board with the whole concept of it. Hahaha.
SHOW OFF Contest: Post a picture of your cue on Facebook get the most likes and get a refinish job on us.
RULES: Post a photo of your cue (pristine or banged up) in this thread, share it around, get the most likes (in this thread) on it and we will refinish and re wrap (Irish linen) a cue for you. Return shipping not included. Photos can be funny but keep it clean.
The cue we refinish doesn’t have to be the one you use for the picture. Refinish work will be our normal 7 days. Contest ends September 30th a winner will be announced October 1st.
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!
The fellow who owns it is a fan of this page and gave permission to tell this incredible story. Full photo shoot found in our gallery at https://proficientbilliards.com/cuerepair/index.php…
…pliers to unscrew a tight shaft. lol. The recommended buddy method is 4 hands near the joint.
You’ve been around this game for a while when you can remember Schon only having one logo.
