**Post Pictures of your cue!**

[TexasTrev]

you being his pal probably helps, how much are his cues worth then and why are they different to other cues

They now sell for about 400+
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.

Andy has made loads of cues,not sure how many though.
I've had 7 or 8 off him but it kinda helps when he's one of my best mates.
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!

Simple,He made 2 and gave me the choice of which one i wanted.I chose the one i played best with,he sold the other for £500.

fair enough,how often does he make them that was the whole reason i posted because i havent seen one

[TexasTrev]

if those cues are from the andy hunter that deals in old cues how come you got hold of not one but 2

Does Andy only sell one at a time??

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

A couple of nice ones!









Andy Hunter cue-Made from an 80 year old piece of Scottish highland ash.
The most phenomenally powerful cue i've ever had,it's a real Beast!
Indian rosewood butt with burr top and bottom and tulip sides.

Martin Daly tyrone cue-Absolutely stunning cue.
Never seen better splicework on a cue,its perfection.
Plays superb.

Both cues are possibly for sale,havent decided yet.

I'm not a fan of steel wool either, I use half a dozen grades of micromesh down to 1200MX. Some folk say that's overkill but each sand deepens the shine, especially that 1200MX final sand. I also use homemade polish, mine is a mix of beeswax, linseed oil, olive oil and a tiny bit of kiwi parade gloss to help highlight grain. I use a shoe polish express shine brush on maple shafts, gives a really slick, non-greasy finish.

[Johnburnt]

I have always had this problem with cues that's why I try and go for maple cues but as they are hard to find that play well
I have made my own cue wax to solve this and I was quite surprised on how well it works
The stuff I made is from pure carnauba wax and beeswax mixed with a little raw linseed (just to help the two waxes mix) the main reason was to fill the dark ash grain to stop chin hairs being ripped out but this stuff works well as a full cue treatment (I let a little get on the tip sides which help to burnish the tip)
It takes a little to work it in but I wanted as much carnauba wax as possible in the blend and this means normal heat won't effect the wax it has the consistency of soap.
I use a piece of nubuck leather to apply and burnish the whole cue and I'm thinking of making the rest of carnauba wax into cue wax as it worked so well and I won't be making car wax with it which was the main reason for buying the carnauba years ago.
It's easy to make and smells amazing and no volatile substances like turps or thinners.
I never use wire wool as it raises the harder grains out 2500 grit sandpaper is the ideal finish paper.

You could try messaging andy travis he uses something similar to mastercue its a very thin coat of a wax like substance which as a very
high gloss finish he might be able to help you.

Thanks I might do that. Right now I have taken a wet cloth and wiped it down clean of everything and now I am trying this furniture wax polishing in between coats. I will see what happens.
