Welcome to the forum.
The only cuemaker, that I know of, that is new you is Dan Shelton in Oxfordshire, Dan is on this forum as totlxtc and his website is www.dansheltoncues.com. He is very approachable and I am sure you can have a chat about what you require on your cue.
All the best.

If you used Mac and Rodney, then Paul Roberts at Stamford Cuemakers might be the guy for you, as he learnt from them ... apart from him, then Robin Cook and Dave Coutts are superb cuemakers who do a fantastic job.

Yep Dan Shelton is good to deal with, I need some work done on my MW cue when the pool season finishes... very relaible.

Hi I have a cue that was modified for a friend of mine that wanted to change to a quick release joint it was by mac chambers and a fantastic ash cue. Would you be interested if I was to sell it?

Why not approach Andy Travis , he is a forum member . Personally if you need extra length , I would have your existing butt over spliced to lengthen it , rather than having a new butt made , much more economical and you keep your existing butt and shaft as a matched set. Andy does a fantastic job and regularly posts pics on Face book and on TSF , the work he is doing with Olivewood over Ebony is stunning .

[cyclone crouch]

Interesting olivewood over ebony. Will have to see some..
Johnny... What's the spec? Any pictures?
My cue in question now has a Mike Wooldridge black spin on..awesome

Just go to the thread " Andy Travis Latest " in the Cues post section and you will find plenty of examples of Andys work . He is based in Stocksbridge nr Sheffield but he does post worldwide and his turnaround is usually quite quick .
