    My playing cue, made by David Hart circa 1985
    62 inches long
    20 oz's
    Ash shaft, ebony butt with splices of maple and walnut.
    Was a one peice but had it 3/4 split by A & D Billiards of Coventry about five years ago
    Had a mini butt fitted by Andy Travis around the same time.



    No grain filler used, shaft was unfinished when I first received it but over time and polishing once a year with Betterware Antique Furniture Polish, the timber has coloured to a light brown and the grain has naturally filled over time. Feels smooth along the bridge but you can feel the ridges of the grain when turned in your hand, dead straight grain in the still dead straight ash shaft and perfectly balanced at the tip of the splices.

    Wouldnt say they were much different to other cues apart from slightly thicker as in the old style of making them.I've had to thin a couple of them down to suit.You just know you are getting a quality cue that will play well.
    must admit in the photo you have got they do look quality, 400+ quid cheez then again some prices of cues i have seem 400 is not that expensive

    Most of his cues went unbadged
    He tends to make them in the old fashioned style aswell.
    If you ever want him to make a cue for you probably the only way he would do it would be if you had a rare antique cue that he would swap for one of his.He's not interested in making them for the money.One thing for sure is it would be a top quality cue,so if you have something like a Ye Olde Ash type then i'm sure he would do business.
    He has made 2 more this week and is posting them to me soon to try out.
    One thing,every one he has made for me i give him them back when i'm finished using it so there are some out there somewhere!

    Im just saying i have never seen one of his cues up for sale so i am saying someone has not got one but 2 of his cues and when a mate of mine asked him for a cue a couple of year back he said he make them just for himself
