The workshop of Mr. Efremov Alexander offers handmade for various kinds of cue games:

     • pool cues;
     • snooker cues;
     • Russian Pyramid cues.
      Each cue is being projected, manufactured and finished by hand to the playing style the customer, taking into account his requirements to the cue weight, length, balance point and look. The understanding of these demands to a billiards cue and high qualification of the master-cabinetmaker provide the playing features which contribute to achieving by these cues the most complicated shots available only to recognized pros while using these cues. We are certain that our custom cues will help you take your game to a higher level.

      The traditional "classical" design cues, such as a butterfly-spliced points one are being manufactured in the workshop:
     • one-piece cues;
     • two-piece cues 1/2;
     • two-piece cues 2/3;
     • three-piece cues.
      The technology, the consequence of which is this design, is known since the second half of the XIX-th century and determines the high playing feachures of the cue. However, the positive result is possible only on condition of observing such important terms as the job with the correctly and duly chosen and prepared materials, combination of wood types in gluing, mutual position of wood grains, using the types of glue tested by time, high quality of the carpenter's job. The duly prepared natural wood of domestic and exotic types without any dues or artificial staining is used in the workshop. This fact and pure natural materials used for protecting the surface of a cue allow us to speak about our products as really pure ecological ones.
      We wish to remind you that physical and mechanical types of wood may considerably differ even on various parts of one tree, to say nothing that under one and the same historically formed commercial type of wood, different types of wood from the point of view of botany could be realized. In this connection the wood characteristics of solidity and density are to some extent approximate, but sufficient for comparative estimation of wood varieties and understanding the policy of market prices.
      The cue surface is covered with natural mastic. The application of such materials for finishing the cue is explained by the fact that they do not affect the structure and design of the wood, refresh and restore without absolute cleaning the surface to the pure wood. Natural mastics are pleasant for the hands but the most thing is that they do not alter the feeling of the blow.
      Unlike other cuemakers, Mr. Efremov prefers to use for shafts not only "Hard Rock" sugar maple (lat. acer saccharum), but "kavkaz mountain" hornbeam (lat. carpinus betulus). The shaft is made from one peace of wood. The master himself is choosing the solid, equilayer material, preparing it and processing. The master is sure that one should spare neither efforts nor time for the matter. Besides, there is a possibility to use for this part of the cue the most stable exotic varieties of wood with equilayer position of fibres and quite enough density.
      A little tube from Ivorine 3 Atlas Co or Fibre Atlas Co is to be put on the shaft.
      For twisting the following types of extenders are used:
     • Radial Pin Joint Screw (Uni -Loc Corp.);
     • standard pin 5/16-14 & bronze insert;
     • Uni-Loc System;
     • Atlas G-10 (Atlas Corp.).

      We have used various materials to make joint and butt rings including plastics of various colors, nickel-silver, brass and so rare exotic wood.
      For all kinds the protectors from rare exotic varieties of wood could be ordered. You may order the extender and it`s size as a separate option.
      For those who wish to acquire the cue as the expensive and original present we may offer various decorative elements. Author's design is based on using natural materials: malachite, bone or wood of rare varieties. Special technological methods allow to serve the natural beauty of these materials. It is possible to put on the butt sleeve an plate for engraving, made of metal or bone, including the bone of a mammoth or ivory.
