Jason Owen - Cue Guru Cues

[PetMarmoset]

Jason, your cues are beautiful. It's been a real pleasure reading through this thread. One thing: I've seen a blog of yours mentioned around here that chronicled your cue making process, but I can't seem to find it. Is this still up somewhere (was it ever)?

Hi Jason,
I've drooled over every page of this thread and am very taken with the elegant simplicity of #75. I've sent you an email via your website... hopefully I might be able to increase the Jason Owen population Down Under by 1
Cheers,
Mick

So I have now come to Badge no 100.
Any ideas on what design and which woods?

I have a long piece of burr which I got from Trevor W and was thinking a full burr butt possibly??
Also have a lovely Macassar Ebony plank, quite light and stripey??
Also was thinking maybe a butt with 3 sets of lower splices all in different burrs??

I want to import some burr woods from the states so will end up ebaying Cue 100 once made, in order to get the most amount of dosh for it, so please dont message me asking to have that number.

How about a selected shaft plain ebony butt.

+1 to that. If it's a special number, go with a classic design.

Hmm was wanting to show how far things had moved on 100 cues later, bit of show boating.

Thanks for that, haha love you!!!

for showboating how about reverse the splices, full burr butt like you said with 4 lower splices of ebony, maple veneers?

mini butt ebony with burr mini splices

How about a nice ebony shaft and snakewood butt, bet no one else has made a cue like that!

Think that would shatter on the first break shot.

Think that would shatter on the first break shot.

Film it, stick on youtube, and sell the shattered pieces for a fortune! Or laminate it with maple chevrons....

Seriously though, my vote would go for something simple and elegant, ash shaft, ebony butt.
