Robin Cook cue review

[hotpot]

Thanks

Well even if he does charge it's not a lot maybe 50 gbp.

Merry Christmas

Dont think he charges muck , i asked to look for a specific type of shaft and he did,nt mention any cost .

I find that to be really amazing,as I think that every other cue maker would charge more for specific ash?

[hotpot]

When i changed my spec from a 1 piece to a 3/4 Robin said it would be extra , then i sent him pics of a cue yesterday and asked him if could find something similar , he said fine he would look but did,nt mention that it would cost extra .

I don't get it why is it more expensive to make 3/4 cue than 1 piece,personally I think that it is much harder to make a 1 piece cue...

Maybe the cost of supplying and time fitting the joint, extra cost of ebony ???

Some charge extra for one piece and others for a 3/4

maybe he had already made the cue and it would be additional work.

Well if you look at his website he charges 250 for one piece cue and 270 for 3/4 cue. I agree with jrc it could be because of the ebony and the work it takes to put the joint correctly,but still I believe that it is much harder to make a nice 1 piece cue
