TimeOut

. . . but his recovery is not going well. He's been immobile for the better part of a year, with increasing severity the last several months. He was hoping for a cure with knee replacement; it hasn't come quite yet. Bob started work on a pair of koa wood ...  

Beautiful cues, where the artists hand is visible in the details you mention. Have a great Sunday, dear Art. Cheers, Alex

. . . his recovery isn't going as well as expected. He's the oldest living Green Beret, and was in good health other than his worn knee.

. . . without video clips? 🤔 I've been playing 3-ball for fifteen years. In all that time I've tried several different breaks as well as break cues. Last Wednesday I trotted out the latest break shaft Bob made late last year from padauk with a Kamui hard ... 

. . . leads to frequent success. Same day, same Denali ebony shaft cue: The single-rail kick shot at the end of that run . . . . . . is one I regularly practice. There was practically no other way to make that particular shot. Most players in a regular ga... 

. . . and combination shots . . . . . . made with various Denali cues. Called shots, all. ...  

Most all cues I have ever seen with Snake Wood have only used it as inlays. I have rarely ever even seen true points made from Snake Wood.

. . . just by looking at it. And you're right about the dearth of snakewood cues . . . not easy to find, with most relegated to relatively small sections, in contrast to the Denali's forearm. Art

. . . as expected. Bob can barely walk with a walker. My other friend who had knee replacement the same day is now walking easily with a cane. She has three more weeks on family leave . . . we're hoping he's ok to be on his own by then.

and I wish him the best possible recovery. I know nothing about cues, but this one seems very nice for a Boeotian like me… Best, Emmanuel

i just learned new word

I hope he can still make a full recovery!

. . . as it apparently is.

Recovery must be especially challenging for someone 90 years old, even a former Green Beret. All the best thoughts and prayers for him.
