Extracted from the Cues and Views website (David Smith and Andy Hunter), written in 2002 -

"Around 1900, Burroughes & Watts bought the patent design from Mannock and took over the production of the cues. These cues were also manufactured with "patented" and "registered" badges which were positioned half an inch higher on the butt so that a Burroughes & Watts stamp could be placed on the flat below. The patented version was only produced for a few years after which all their cues were marked "registered". At this time Ash and Maple also began to be used for the shafts. Pear and Maple shafted cues would fetch, £200-£300, Ash shafts, being less common, would bring £250-£350. Burroughes & Watts cues with a Snakewood front splice are also valued at £250-£350."

interesting info. only seen a few ash ones. wonder what worth today, since that article wrote 10 years ago

Keep up the good work Mark.
It is nice to see someone so passionate and is trying to make something original.
I like the finish, too. You never showed me those pictuers.
Do you have some kind of tools or did you do that front splice all by hand? Good job!
Anyway, thanks for sharing.
Please post pictures of other wood craft you make id you don't mind, we all love to see that kind of things here on TSF.
Cheers.

At the request of DeanH, here is a picture of a few of the cues I've made or in the process of making. Some you may have seen before.
The cue on the right has a pear shaft, and to keep the weight down has a titanium joint and ferule. And along with the cue in the middle its not quite finished yet.
The 2 cues on the left are made with lacewood shafts.
And then theres the 4 partially made ash shafts.
Before anyone asks, they are not for sale, at least not yet, and I'm not taking orders

Well you did ask so it must be your fault
Glad you like them.
Like many have said before, I'm not sure if it is a hobby or an expensive time consuming obsession.
Found a picture of one I did a few years ago. From memory it was about 55" long and used for playing barbilliards.

I think it was about 16Oz, it was made for a friend who still uses it.
Barbiliards is a dying game but we still have a fairly strong group of leagues in the south England.
