Thanks to John Barnett in Allen Park, MI (313-736-1606) for commissioning me to build the parts to this Marine Corps League podium. It's a fine finish, exceptional fit and I appreciate his patience on this project. John does great work with furniture repair too.

A specially made cue for Ashley. I tried to put more blue in it but the picture called for green anyway. How does it look?

Here is a Sneaky Pete style break cue made from a busted old house cue. It features a six layer Alien shaft with a Tiger Break tip. CAUTION: for demonstration purposes only, please don't try spinning any shaft in a lathe without engaging your tailstock!!!!

Jimmy Provenzino's new cue. The butt is African Blackwood with six Redheart/Mahogany/Maple points. Buttplate is imitation ivory (Ivorine) and I included a six layer 30" laminate shaft. Total weight 19.5oz balanced 3" forward of the grip. I'm looking forward to making some really extravagant cues with more exotic Blackwood from www.bellforest.com.

Uh, oh. Now we're playing with color! This 'galaxy' cue is made from reclaimed wood and it's starting to look like my own new favorite with a stellar paint job inspired by the very talented work of Eli Minear on the green cue. What do you think about the matching beauty ring on the shaft? Finished pictures coming soon.

A Deftwood original cue, redheart and maple inlays on cocobolo. The brown leather wrap is probably the way to go. What do you think?
