We get requests to do all kinds of things and build all sorts of cues. There are some things we do and other things we just don't do. Logos are other peoples property! We can not inlay or engrave a beer, sports team, automobile or any other type of logo without the owners permission. Getting that permission is usually quite expensive and time consuming. If you have already obtained that permission, in the form of a license, we will be glad to do the work. We build cues out of wood! We don't build entire cues out of aluminum, titanium, fiberglass, or acrylic. We might use those materials to make parts for a cue, but that is about all. We generally don't engrave cues that we have not built! We engrave our logo and pertinent information about a specific cue. We do not typically engrave cues we have not built. It can be done but the cue has to be refinished after the engraving is done unless the engraving is done on stainless steel, delrin or other material that does not have finish over it. We build two or three piece cues! We do not build one piece pool cues. Most of the cues we build have a shaft and a butt that join in the center. This is the traditional 2 piece cue. We also build jump / break cues where the butt unscrews for a small handle on the shaft of a jump cue and we build jump cues where the handle is much shorter than the shaft. We don't paint or airbrush cues! In general we do not paint anything on cues. We have spray painted a wooden cue solid black and put finish over the top of it to get a jet black cue, but that is pretty much the limit of what we'll do. We prefer natural woods but will stain them at customer request. We don't use decals! Except for the few early cues that were made with our logo decals we do not build cues with stickers or decals. We inlay cues and will engrave them with images that are simple or complex. To RAVEN Cues Home Page
