Websites

[Tanar]

I am trying to compile as complete a list as possible for my "favorites" in regards to custom cue makers. The whole point of this is so I can learn as much about cues, woods, inlays, cue making techniques, just basically everything about the sport that I can. I already have a number of sites, but if anyone has any suggestions as to other informative sites, can you post them for me? Here are the sites I already have:

Most of the major cue brands
J. Pechauer, Schon, Barringer, Bluegrass, Mezz, Zac, Nitti and Samsara

I know there are hundereds of sites out there, but my main focus is on materials and cue crafting and beautiful craftsmanship. Thanks for any helpful posts.

www.nitticues.com based out of Florida shoots at the pool hall I do, Clicks in Casselberry.

His cues are absolutely beautiful.. Some of the very best I have ever seen. One day maybe I will own one...

I was looking at the Nitti site after you posted it in another thread. I like the fact that he hand cuts all of his inlays. You arerightthough, his cues are absolutley beautiful. The Zaccues website is a good one as well. His cues are apparently very popular in Calgary, Alberta.

Sadly the cues he has pictured are not the best he has. He just updated his site with the 2004 models and doesnt have all the pics done yet.. I am going to try to find a cached version of his lasy years models...

Keith Josey makes some great looking cues. Craftmanship is great, and plays great too.

How about Dale Perry, www.dpcues.com, or Thierry Layani, www.layanicues.com?

I'll check those out. My list of cuemakers is rapidly growing. I really liked the Dzcues website as he has instruction on putting veneers into a cue. That is the kind of stuff I am looking for. Keep the suggestions coming, each and every one is appreciated. Thanks guys.

I just found this website and this guy's cues are amazing. I am not too sure how reliable he is as he seems very defensive and slags quite a few people on his site. His $25,000 cue is beautiful, if you like ivory as I do. He is obviously a bad business man though as a few of his cues were shipped out before payment was completed.... Anyway, check this out:

For the record, my girlfriend is out and I am about to go out with a friend, so I do have a life if any of you noticed I was sitting at home on a Friday night looking at cue maker sites.... :D :D
