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.
