Well it’s been a while for sure (life just getting in the way) but it’s safe to say you guys are about to be flooded with cue reveals real soon…

Starting from tomorrow keep an eye on the page. I have some unbelievable designs coming through.

Good things come to those who….

I love everything about this ❤️

Ian who runs Nappa Pool is an absolute gem. He’s got a heart of gold, is an amazing player and is an inspiration to the youth of pool.

Now just look at those venues! The best that the North East has to offer. All are bringing the best possible experiences to the players. All are top tier venues with the best equipment to play on👌

If you have a young’un with an interest in the game this series is not to be missed. The experience you’ll pick up by just playing on this is priceless.

I have no official affiliation with Napa Pool and have no financial interest in this but these are the things we all need to promote and support for the future of the sport to grow.

Please can you all share this and help promote the Series. Let’s see the Next Gen players on the baize!

Much love 🙏

🚨🚨Business update: 2028 is now full and my order book is CLOSED until further notice🚨🚨

Firstly I’d like to say a heartfelt thank you to every single one of my customers who has supported me over the years.

As the business has continued to grow it has now evolved to a point where it’s beyond the capacity of one man. An order book of 2.5 years has seen me hit and go beyond my limit of what I’m comfortable with managing on a daily basis. I try to give every customer my full attention but with so many great people to talk to all the time I feel I haven’t been able to give it my best to each person individually and that bothers me.

As such I am now closing my order book until further notice for all new custom cue orders.

I will remain available for light cue work, repairs and alterations such as tips, ferrules, straightening etc but will hold back (for the time being) on major cue reworks such as lengthening, weight adjustments and resplicing. Hopefully once I catch up on work I can reintroduce those more time consuming jobs and I’ll let you all know when the time comes.

The aim of this is to allow me more time to catch up on existing orders and hopefully open the order book again asap. The great news is that when I do finally reopen my order book I hope that new customers will be looking at a maximum of a 12 month wait rather than 2.5 years 😁.

Once again I’d like to thank all of my customers for the support you have shown me.

Much love 🙏

I hope the kids don’t mind beans on toast for a while 😫💷💷💷💷💷💷

Not cheap this snakewood stuff 🐍

I don’t normally like working with it but I have had a few requests lately so I’ve given in and decided to buy a small amount that would equate to a monthly mortgage 🤦‍♂️.

There will be an extra surcharge for using this on your cue I’m afraid. The cost of it is outside my normal margins by quite some way.

I have to admit though, it looks bloody incredible 😍

I love getting a bit of freedom to create 🥰.

Thanks to Dan for giving me free rein over the design of his new cue. I wanted to create something familiar yet distinct. I chose not to opt for the usual Ebony and instead use a wood that Dan had expressed an interest in. I also decided to add a little flourish of my own rather than just all regular solid splicing.

Elite model
1 piece Ash shaft
Indonesian Rosewood main splices
Orange, Black and Red veneer stack

“Feather” pattern front splice.

Thanks again to Dan for the repeat custom and supporting my business.

Much love 🙏
