New Robert Osborne Website Coming Soon! Watch This Space!!
Will i be able to order a Blackpate from him? Only been asking for one for 4year's:snooker:
Doubt it, i had a conversation with him about a fortnight ago, from what i gather he will make batches of cues and then sell them already made. Reason for this is that the clerical side of things are too much plus if they don't sell here they definitely will in the far east (No point in trying to meet specific needs with specs). I even offered all the cash for a black plate with a promise of no pressure whatsoever for him to refuse. Kinda put me off to be honest.
Yip you got it right Tim! But you've gotta understand that He wants to be making cues and not replying to emails all day! Plus the fact that snooker players are very fickle when it comes to specs and change their minds like the weather!
Think he will be making at all different specs and designs but in his own way and uploading them!
Will also still be supplying the far east!
I'm sure trev and mike like to actually have time to make cues rather than answer a million emails all day!
Each to there own I suppose!
Interesting to see from the video that Robert uses Boiled Linseed to finish the cues, considering the comments on this forum concerning the artificial dryers contained - not necessarily harming cues but generally not recommended.
Anyway, a nice site (loads of language choices ) and good to see him publicly "open for business".
Looking forward to seeing actual cues up for sale.
