Finishing a cue (Will hunt)

[guernseygooner]

Seems he is back in the game again with a new website: https://www.willhuntsnookercues.net

No mention on this one about finishing imported cues like there was on the last website. £1000+ for a black plate

You can see how hard they work; that's how they can produce 30 shiny cues on a table for display, when there were none for sale the previous day. Amazing.

Its simple really, he lays out some ash and ebony, then makes an offering to the magic Elves known to inhabit certain parts of London. He comes in the next day and the cues are there just needing a badge and ferrule

Realistically though these vids show about the same as his Facebook pictures, putting the badge on, tipping\ferruling and some finishing work.

Think this item i spotted in the video says a lot though.





He's been trolling people with these "London made" cues (its actually wire wool)

the video description is also great.

This was a promotional video made in early 2016 for Chinese television and stills from the video have been also been used in various media. It was filmed in the Will Hunt (London) workshop by Tim Curtis and Will Hunt.

Ironic as that's probably where the cues came from in the first place, so the video is essentially "here's us re-badging a load of cues, so we can send them back to china with a top dollar tag on them".

2:10 into the video, anyone notice the long boxes leaning against the wall? Are they boxes of the 'CUES' from you know where?

Massive workshop as well

Wow. This page has been a surprise.

clearly I must have missed all this a while back.

To me it looks like the grain on the cues has already been darkened, then he's finishing them, would anyone do it in that order?

Wondering what the other famous name cue makers are up to?

[Dave Walton]

He butchers that tip aswell

This is the genuine Will Hunt (London) No. 111 Black Plate snooker cue, recently finished in Will’s southeast London workshop.

Emphasis on one particular word.

From his Facebook page, guess that seals the deal on those cues earlier this year if he can get brass badges made up the same way.

When do you think they started using part fi ished shafts ? And when they were at the top of the cue making world in 80s

[Shockerz]

Any pics of the inside of the cases and how much they are?

No pics and can find out for you but starting on a new case myself...
Been a few year's since I've made any.... Well almost 30 but most of my old ones are still being used.
