I find his site interesting, especially the butt splicing part. Most other cuemakers seem to glue the splices on shaped like a wedge, with Mike it goes on shaped as a splice. Bit of a different approach from the rest. Presumably it saves times from planing down a full wedge shape? Or possibly it gives a better guide as to where the points start and end so its a bit easier to even them up? Bit of both maybe, no idea

Rubbish thread.
I have purchased from Mike and it was 1st class all the way but at the end of the day he tells it like it is and is very much the sort of person that treats you like you treat him, you know that old respect side of things that so many people lack these days??
I got my Cue over 12Mths ago now and am still in contact with Mike via numerous online media sources and his follow up he showed me regarding any questions i had / performance of the Cue etc have been 2nd to none, but i cannot help to think how many idiots contact him that are total time wasters which is why his website is explained in plain words to get straight to the point.
His Cues are what they are and priced accordingly so no use Emailing him and asking for a VCM Cue to be made for 500 quid etc when they are double that + more.
What you will get at the end of the day is a cracking Cue with prompt delivery (even world wide like i got) and fantastic after sales support for whatever you may need.
I cannot recommend MW Cues enough honestly.If it is called " Common sense " why is it so rare???

Couldn't have put it better myself; echoes my dealings with him.
Doesn't matter what industry you're in they'll always be some half wit customers, but that's business. Mike deals with them in his own special way :-D not everyone's idea of customer services but it's his business and livelihood so completely up to him.

Mike does not run a big operation and employ 5 odd blokes to help him so just about every Cue he makes you can rest assured Mike has done it from scratch and as we all know it takes time, so the less time replying to dumb questions is more time in the shop actually making Cues and delivering for the people that are genuine and willing to pay for them.If it is called " Common sense " why is it so rare???

A storm in a glass of water here ?
I have one of Mike's cues, got it in the late 90s and it's a cracker. Never had any issues with his communication, so I do not see what is the problem really. And to be fair, I contacted him to have some alterations done to my cue, but I changed my mind, so I am guilty of wasting his time too, although I will still send it back for service and a mini butt joint when I have the funds.
I am a small business owner too, so I can fully understand it is hard to deal with such things, it's not like he has someone sitting around there just for that purpose.
As for the language used, well, its his direct style I suppose, I don't see anything wrong with it.
