Jason Owen - Cue Guru Cues

[cueman]

There was a big thread about this a few months back. A lot of talk that Jason along with a few others were buying in part finished shafts and claiming they were making cues from scratch. He didn't exactly deny it and since then has kept a low profile.

Jason Owen - Cue Guru Cues

Yeah........I did myself, seems they're not posting much nowadays, along with a few more.

It's a shame really.

never for sale though! - I think he got a bit fed up with the back stabbing etc that was going on.

I continue to get reply after reply to threads posted to Jason Own Cue Gurus when I have never to my knowledge posted any threads to that site. Any ideas please ???

Jason admitted he'd done it with a low number of cues, could have been 8 but can't fully remember the number he admitted to.

I didn't realise that someone (Crispian) informing all the potential paying customers here at TSF that we were being misled by Jason (and other cue makers) was considered backstabbing!

From memory, I thought Jason had admitted he had badged about 8 cues without resplicing or anything,
, and that all his recent shafts came from various places ( hence the reason why his website is now very clear about sourcing ).

Sorry if it's a bit of a thick question but when you say part finished what exactly is a part finished cue is it just a shaft and then cue makers adding there own splices ??

Like I said, Jason has clarified on his website, so no reason not to still give us the pleasure of his beautiful work on here.

i don't think it was the thread that was the issue but the motives behind it, long story best left alone.
