Burroughes & Watts + Hunt & O'Byrne Cues aquired. Info?

[Wayne G]

Is that your new TW in your avatar Wayne ?

Neil,

Nice to hear from you. No, not new. I got this from Trevor about 3 years ago. I removed my Will Hunt Black Plate #336 avatar a short while ago because I sold it.

Cheers, Wayne

personal choice needn't be based on proper knowledge


Couldn't agree more. Just because one isnt a very good player doesn't mean one cant appreciate a quality cue and get pleasure from owning and playing with one.

Has anybody been e-mailed the pictures yet?

Dear All

Thank you for the info, and apologies for the delay in getting back on here but work has been rather hectic of late. I have emailed the pictures to adr147. Clearly my attempt at submitting them here was a massive failure.

PS - Dean, I am a pool player. I have a MW cue as he lives not far from me and offered to come down to the club and show me some cues as I was getting into more serious competition and wanted the best cue I could afford. At least then if I got hammered on tour I knew it was entirely down to me. I don't spend my weekends reading up about old snooker cues.

HA

Andrew,u are one of the expert about cues, and I believe that u are also many people's mentor.

By the way,received the cue tips, thanks. Can't wait to use it on my cue.

[DeanH]

It has a black diamond inlayed on the base.

thanks ADR for the photos.
well this is what I thought it would be, nothing inlaid but just the ends of the four splices of tulipwood
(? so a machine spliced red plate?) showing the core of the ebony as a square/diamond
give me a mo and I'll upload them

[DeanH]

[hammyali]

Thanks Dean, kinda makes sense now. The black/green/red refers to the colour of the writing on the plate I assume? The plate is faded a little but the writing is red. It looks a very lovely cue (haven't tried it yet) but pretty short, probably a good 5 or 6 inches below normal.

The B&W is quite a common standard one?

[jim evans]

if your selling mate be interested in b&watts for my collection,also in the other one to lengthen into full size

[hammyali]

To be honest it is unlikely I will ever use them, so any offers would be considered
