Will Sassy Frassy Survive Her Rebuild?

This is the stick that started me on the path to cue building. One thing I’ve learned and probably most cue builders would agree, it’s a path, not a destination. We’re always growing. Moving forward through new terrain. Developing and discarding processes.

I knew when I built Ole Sassy Frassy that it would warp. The wood was wet to touch and had been a few years’ dead on the side of the tree before falling. But I was on a quest to learn stick building and learning is when you experiment. I threw Sassy Frassy together and was shooting pool the next day… while Sassy was drawing crowds.

She’s my flagship. She’s THE ONE. I can’t screw up this rebuild — but the sassafras wood is fragile — I can’t stabilize it now, to strengthen it, and the stick might blow apart during coring.

Fun. I’m sick.
