He was exceptionally easy to work with and definitely a no nonsense guy. It didn't take him long to help me sort out the details of what I was looking for in a cue. Basically, I wanted something with a classic, classy look, but nothing too fancy. I like pretty wood, and don't like ivory (elephant fan) shells, stones, gems, or most metallic inlay. He actually managed to deliver the cue AHEAD of schedule, and the workmanship was, as close as I can tell, perfect. I've only used one (of two) shaft, and really like the feel and action. The cue has a nice firm hit, but isn't super hard. Anyway, I couldn't be happier, and would like to recommend Wayne to anyone in the market... Details: Four Bocote points with four veneers (Ebony, Titlist Teal, White, Ebony) and Hoppe ring. The weight is just over 19 ounces (as ordered), and the balance point is right where he said it would be - 19" from the butt. The pin is a Uni-Lok Radial. bes Good Pictures at link below: http://www.waynecustomcues.com/BS.html Not Great (mine) ones attached:

| 01-06-2011, 04:41 PM OHHHHH! I am SO looking forward to the cue that he is making me. Thanks for posting this up! Mine should be done within the next month or two. I know Wayne spent some time with his family throughout the holidays, which I am glad that he did, so there may be a slight delay. He mentioned to me the last time we spoke on the phone that he isn't making as many cues now per batch which allows him a 12 - 16 week turn around on average. That's pretty good if you ask me!

He's actually a pretty nice guy as well! Steve Steve Jennings |
