Tanar: Custom Cue Building Site

[audiopro]

Found this site doing a search for some custom cues. Sells components and such, and has tutorials on building cues. Thought ya may be interested.

Audio,
Yeah, I found that site while sifting through E-bay. It is a good one. They have cheap ivory components, but they won't ship them to me as I am out of country. Oh well, I'll be in Vegas in early June for the big tournament, so I'll hopefully check them out then. Thanks for thinking about me though! If you have any other websites, let me know, it is greatly appreciated!!

Another possibility for you is Barringer Cues. I know they make great cues and used to sell various cue making supplies like ivory and such. Their url is www.barringercues.com

The problem is United States law forbids a United States business to ship or sell ivory outside of the US. Oh well, I won't be ready to use it for quite a few years yet anyway. As a curious side note, it seems Barringer and Bludworth cues have very different ideas on CNC machinery.....

Audio,
I checked into that site a little deeper and it has some pretty detailed cue building tips. Iprobably wouldn't have looked into the site any deeper if you hadn't brought it up, thanks.

Another future purchase will be the cue building book offered by the Cue Smith.

Excellent! Glad to help... As for getting Ivory, yeah that is a tough one. I don't know what the leagalities would be of having a friend purchase for you and then ship it to you. Maybe that is possible.

I think it would work as long as customs doesn't open the package. :D

Any loopholes in the law for "Educational or Research Purposes" and such.. lol...
