Eye Shafts


I started making the eye shaft in 1978.

I was  building some cues, I needed some shaft wood, purchased some,
but it was not perfect it had a few birds eye in it.  Some of the wood was
okay for the shafts I needed, but, but, but , the wood had little birds eye's
in it.  I went to the Pool hall and talked to some of the guys, some said it
could work,  some said I don't know.
The wood seemed to be very stiff and it had no particular grain to it. The
birds eye's in the wood made the grain go around them, but would come
back to a straight line after they passed the birds eye's.
At the time I happened to be teaching at a Junior College in Nothern
California.
One of my friends was the head of the Science Department, I gave him a
piece I had turned round, and he tested it.
It's  strenth and its capability to transfer energy from one end to the other
loosing very little of its energy, this was just what we wanted in a shaft for
our cues.  I had been looking for some thing like this for long time.
Of course the only true way to test these shafts was to put on my cue and
hit balls with it, I liked the hit and the control and I started playing with
one on my personel cue. Be fore long several of the guys at the hall was
playing with them.  
This was the start of the shafts that I make today.
From then till now I have been making these shaft, I have experimented
with many different type of birds eye maples.
I think if you try these shafts you will find that  they are different playing
than  any thing  you have tryed and if you try one, I mean really try one,
You may never go back to a hard rock maple shaft again.

IF YOU DO NOT LIKE IT, RETURN IT THE WAY YOU RECIEVED
IT, AND I WILL RETURN YOUR MONEY.

Please do not think that I will not know how I sent it to you,  I will. Be
fair with me and I will be fair with you.

Thanks For Your Time
