Is he still making cues?? Searching the aussie forums all I could find were 5yr old posts saying he'd quit making them.

[NapalmDeath]

Too bad , if that's the case.

[ADR147]

I was given his details by adr a year ago ,and called Andy who told me that he had sold all his tools and given up ..sham.. but he might of made a come back!!

Used to see his cues on aussie ebay, they looked really good. Is it true that he emigrated from the UK? I heard that was the case for Peter Hanley but I wonder if someone had the two confused?

It is true. Andy made me two cues a few years ago, one ash and the other maple. I used the maple cue for a season and loved it, however I stupidly blamed the cue for a loss of form and sold it on ebay to archalf from this forum. I was in contact with Andy at that time and he was flying to the UK to visit his parents so I drove over and met up with him and his wife and we went to a pub for a few drinks. They are a lovely couple.....Andy is (or was at that time) one of the best Australian pool players.

And I bought the same cue from archalf on ebay two years or so ago intending to have it lenghtened, but it still in the case untouched and unused..... it's a very small world!

It certainly is!! Andy made that cue to my exact specs.......58.5in long and 9.7mm tip if I remember. The front splice was walnut.

Let me know if you ever sell!!

Andy is in the North of Thailand he is not involved in making cues any-more, his cue-making workshop was and is owned by The Pooltableman in Perth Western Australia where Andy lived and worked. They continue to make superb hand crafted cues having two of the best cue-makers you will find, wholesale outlet is in Adelaide SA you can contact them under joemastercue@gmail.com their cues today are far superior to what Andy used to make for them.

I still have three of Andys cues NOT FOR SALE one is a beautiful 3/4 with a face splice in WA desert conkerberry wood (very rare and expensive indeed) the twin to mine was made for the World Prof, Billiards Champion Mike Russell who found the tip and end of the shaft taper to slim for him and sold it on to a chap at an exhibition who foolishly had it taken to Parris and had him splice a new face splice in mediocre ebony over the conkerberry wood, I believe Parris put his own badge on the cue as well, I bet he feels very good about knowing that I have knocked back $1,500.00 for mine, and his butchered Andy Bream come Parris is worth about 200 pounds?? Conkerberry and show grade curly Mulga are two Australian desert timbers as hard as ebony, take a beautiful polish and look better and better with age, you can email Auscues Andy's employers on the above email maybe they have a few pieces?? but be prepared to pay for it.:snooker:

Here is the conkerberry cue and the other Andy Bream; For some reason not going through??

[Oldgit]

Carl!! Long time no hear...........it was me who bought the Andy Bream cue that you commissioned for Mike Russell. I met Mike in a cafe near Peterborough and he sold me that Bream cue for £100. It was a lovely looking cue but I couldn't get use to it so took the shaft to Robert Osbourne who made me a cue to my specs using the shaft only.......ended up as a really nice cue but sadly not a good player. The butt was NEVER taken to Parris but was given to a friend of mine as a gift and he still has it.
