OUR CUES
Five woods, two ways to build them
We buy in small lots and pick every board ourselves. Any wood here can be built with the turquoise inlay ring, or completely plain. If you want a combination you do not see, ask us. That is what custom is supposed to mean.
The Inlay Collection
A ring of turquoise petals set above and below the leather wrap, one piece at a time. It takes most of a morning per cue.
Bocote
Dark ribbons through honey coloured grain. The figure never repeats, so no two cues are alike.
Photographs coming soon
Purpleheart
Violet now, dark plum in ten years. The wood keeps working after you buy it.
Photographs coming soon
Leopardwood
Flecked and russet. Takes lacquer better than anything else on the bench.
The Plain Series
No ring, no points, no contrasting veneer. Wood, leather and a bone collar. A plain cue hides nothing, which is exactly why it is the harder one to get right.
Ebony
This is what we build when someone asks for nothing at all. Solid ebony, black leather, stainless rings, and not one thing more.
It costs less than the inlaid cues, but not because it is easier. We will build a plain cue in any wood we stock, if you ask.
WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY
Messages we did not expect
These are screenshots, not typed-out quotes. We asked each person before putting their words here. Nothing has been edited except cropping out phone keyboards and one message about pricing that was nobody else’s business.
“The inlay work is insane. Pics don’t even do it justice. Already got a buddy who wants one, I’m sending him your way.”
Jake M.
“You are an artist man. Omg I’m in love with you man.”
Ali A.
“I received it. It’s really good. The packaging is also very good. I tried it too, it’s awesome.”
Yaeyang
We have been selling to players in Vietnam for years. Shipping abroad is the new part, so these are the first customers overseas to write back. More will go up here as they come, good and otherwise, and we will not be quietly deleting the bad ones.
Every cue is quoted on its own
Wood, weight, wrap, inlay work and engraving all change what a cue costs to build, so we quote each one rather than posting a number that would be wrong for most people. Tell us what you have in mind and we will come back with an honest figure and a realistic date.
