Wow...a small family run business does still exist!!
This is a gem in N. Wisconsin in Rice Lake right off Hwy. 53. Don't let the exterior of the building dissuade you if you are a Pool aficionado. The place is a cue factory & store. We met Mom-Schmelke and Son-Schmelke during our visit and they were both fantastic. About 80% of the cues they sell are hand-made right there on-site. The craftsmanshift is outstanding the prices are reasonable for the quality of the work! They have a table in the showroom and they encourage you to try out everything before you buy it.... DEMO!!
They have playing cues, breaking cues, break/jump cues, and jump cues. If you find a cue that you want customized (i.e. added/removed weight) they will even customize that for you on the spot. A true gem in the Northwoods! read more
