I’ve been feeling more and more the gentle tug at my heart. Sometimes it feels more like a chain that’s been grapple-hooked through my left ventricle, this insisting awareness that it matters more and more how we conduct our affairs, these days.
Bruiser is my first Blue/Gray stick. The other will likely be called something recalling the War of Northern Aggression. The first video shows the first pass on the Taper Shaper. The second shows the stick after three passes, then gives a quick update on another stick build: Carrot Cake, a delightfully orange/cinnamon/white frosting stick. Also […]
Just beautiful. This is Dizzy Christmas getting its first turn.
The video shows the eight minutes of glue up that follow two hours of boring and coring. Plus me doing my best to avoid making Delta Zeta (sorority) jokes. You’ll also notice I’m using the Character Cues theme song (Head in the Clouds) in the last part of the video, just because. In all, an […]
I’m getting practice making videos so I don’t have a cringe-inducing mega fail for my longer video, the one I’m doing for the stick called Pale Horse. I want to get used to working with the camera, explaining what I’m doing, etc. So this is a maple shaft with a special-order black phenolic ferrule (the […]
Here’s a glue up of a pretty stick I’m calling Sarah Phim. This is my first longer-length video. It’s raw and uncut. No, I didn’t murder a cat. Sarah Phim is Stick 24.
I started using Rumble to host my videos. Playback should be fast and easy. This quick video shows the layout of a stick called Pale Horse. I’m going to take video of the build, all the way through, then assemble into an hour-long-or-so video to showcase the beautiful wood at Character Cues, and how each […]
Stick #22, Bruiser, went together nice and easy, and I’m excited to see that blue come alive under a gloss finish. I love the natural streaks of orange/yellow that cut through the blue dye in the beech. There are a few pocketed areas on the fat part of the butt that’ll need epoxy, and I’ll […]
All sticks now have an option to purchase with a maple, purple heart, or carbon fiber shaft. They are priced at $699, $749, and $999 — and the lower priced options still come with a Pool Dawg hard case and a tip shaper/chalker. These prices will change once the shop gets traction. It takes a […]
Oh my gosh Clayton! I got my stick today and it is just beautiful and shoots great!
My words cannot express the beauty and workmanship you have created!
Thank you, thank you, thank you so very much!!!!
Also, I loved the letter sent with the stick♥️
