The site looks good. I was wondering if you still have the pictures of that Sierra you helped make. At one time I saw some pictures that you took but I dont have them.
Love the cues Brian !!
A quick question more than a comment.
Anyway to get a full splice cue with certain veneer colors through your supplier of blanks ?
Right now there are no custom veneer options available on these blanks. There is around 10 or 12 variations and that’s it. The olivewood cue pictured is cored (front & back).
Nice addition to the site. I’ve always enjoyed shooting with your cues. Your work is very clean and has a lot of heart in it. Would not hesitate to send folks your way for work or a new cue. keep up the good work
after more than 10 years decided to start a *comeback* at pool
after searching a bit about sellers with nice cues found someone near my town- this nice guy came with about 40 cues- tested some really nice cues….but then saw an amazing cocobolo cue…..first stoke *MINE*- after that i asked ofc for the cuemaker…and it was you :p
thx for giving me a really satisfying feeling that i have now while playin again after that long time. keep on going with your great work!
all the best wishes to u and your familiy from germany,
Hay Bryan what rice do your plane jane cues start at? i’m thinking a plane jane african blackwood with silver rings at 4 points and the joint of the shaft?
for anyone who cares what my opinion is i bought one of bryans cues after BS’ing with him a little during the West coast cue show. bryan was real easy to talk to and his love of pool really showed. his cue was crazy easy to adjust to using. the balance point just seemed to feel right! the cue had a nice resonant “tonk” sound when i hit a ball with it and really let my stroke hand know when i was doing something right/wrong.
the handle was a little thinner than i was used to but i got to liking it pretty quick. i asked bryan to put a soft leather wrap on the cue for me and he threw on the softest wrap i could have wanted. it actually felt like the cue was holding my hand and not the other way around.
i have a high run of 56 playing 14.1 i’ve strung 4 racks playing 9 ball and 3 racks playing 8 ball. 7 nine ball racks on a bar box and the most i’ve ever played for is 400 but i’m in action at least once a week. that’s where my opinion’s coming from
Bryan Thanks again for the cue that I order. I know you were going through some hardship. When I recieved the cue from you. I went home and test it on my pool table it shot real good. I like the weigh and the way it look. I’ very happy with the way it turn out. I will take it to play on friday tourment at Metro. Hope to get into the money. I have’nt played for a couple month.But now I can and show off this cue. Bryan thanks again Aloha……..Ben
bryan
todd here again thanks for your quick responce just a couple more questions the price you quoted was that with 2-shafts and was the wrap leather.
does thuya burl or camphor burl look as good as the snakewood does on that cue?
when i decide to order this cue does it have a model no. or name you call it for a referance
Hi Todd, if I remember correctly that was quoted with 2 shafts. I like the thuya burl best and snakewood second best. Finding the sweet pieces is the hardest part of the build.
Brian i like the sp on sale now on your website can you give me a quote on one with the same indian rosewood a birdseye maple butt cap two to three inches long and no joint collars and no white buttcap.Do you sign and date your cues if requested?Please feel free to call me and leave a message if you prefer. Thanks for your time.
I ordered a set of cues from BCM a couple of weeks ago. The wait time was estimated at four months so I put my cues up for sale. Unfortunately, they sold in a week so I was stuck with six Players that I have for house cues. When Bryan put the word out about his parent’s health possibly delaying some orders I panicked and bought the Zircote cue he had available for $510. It arrived today. I have hit with many of the most popular custom cues and have owned a high end Paul Motty and Joss West. I can say with all honesty that this $510 cue is my favorite so far. The hit is solid, accurate and the shaft is smooth with just the right balance of action to spin the balls perfectly without uncontrolled deflection. The feedback from the cues grip to my hand is perfect. The finish is like glass and is as good as I have seen. I would compare it to the finish on Perazzi and Krieghoff shotguns that I have shot costing 50K+. The cue was already built and not to my specifications I can only imagine what his cue will hit like when I get exactly what I want. I have played for 25 years now and have been in action allot of those days. I know nothing about how cues are built but this one is a real player at an unbelievable value.
Hi Bryan,
I just traded my Schon for one of your cues. Not sure what the model is, but it is lots and lots of olive wood on the forearm and butt, w/ leather wrap. What a beautiful cue. I dont think i will be parting with this cue ever. Seriously i think i got the better end of the deal. Your cues hit perfectly. Very nice work. Also looking thru your website i was browsing the list of customers you have had over the years. It was nice to see my fathers name (Keith Watson) on your list. Sadly i inherited some of his cues, so i am looking for identical ringwork on some of these cues, but so far no luck. Again very nice cue work your doing and thanks for having my dads name up on your site. Although i did not buy my BCM custom from you, I was hoping you could honor him by putting my name up with my dads. If not thats cool too
Hi Michael, thanks for the kind words about my work. I was very sad to hear about your dads passing, he was a nice guy. I would be happy to include you on my client list which desperately needs to be updated. Take care of yourself and if there is ever anything I can do for you please let me know.
Bryan,
The site looks good. I was wondering if you still have the pictures of that Sierra you helped make. At one time I saw some pictures that you took but I dont have them.
If you do, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Bryan:
Your new blog looks fine. As always very tasteful as well as informative. Well, I wouldn’t have expected anything else from you…;-)
And a “big thanks” for dedicated space to the special german projects. The pictures look great.
Kind regards,
Volker

The new cue far exceeds my expectations!
All of a sudden I’m a player.
This is the best shootin’ cue ever.
Thanks a million.

Hi Danny, thank you for the kind words. I will check on the veneer options for you.
April 26, 2009 at 11:13 pm
Hi Bryan
Any word on the question earlier about veneer options.
I really like the full splice cues you have been doing.
Also the cue you have on home page … The olive wood cue.
Is the forearm cored ?
Thank You Danny

Hay Bryan what rice do your plane jane cues start at? i’m thinking a plane jane african blackwood with silver rings at 4 points and the joint of the shaft?
November 9, 2009 at 7:18 am
They start at $595 with one shaft and linen grip. I gave an african blackwood I’m working on right now.
