Kevin King’s Cue Case
Kevin King is an insanely talented leather worker from Missouri. http://www.choppersaddles.com/
He recently built a case to offer as a prize in a memorial 9-ball tournament to raise awareness for Lou Gehrig's Disease or ALS.
The following is taken from Kevin's post on www.leatherworker.net - go here to see the rest of it Kevin King Cue Case
_____________________________________________________________________________
"As some of you already know, on October 28th, 2009, My dad died as a result of ALS (Lou Gerhigs Disease).
It is quite possibly the worst disease I have ever seen. Ever.
If you are unaware of what ALS is, I encourage you to look it up. I'll spare the details on this post.
Since my dad was diagnosed with this disease, my sister has been very active in ALS awareness. Much more than me. It's still hard for me to think about.
Anyway, she organized and hosted a 9-ball pool tournament to benefit The ALS group and help raise awareness.
This was one of the prizes." – Kevin King

Thanks for sharing this Kevin. I am sorry to hear about your Dad. Please don't take up cue case making full time because I can't build chopper seats to make up for the income I will lose when all my customers head your way.
Is there any way to purchase this case or was it a one of a kind build? Do you know anyone who could duplicate a similar type build?
It was auctioned off for charity. You would need to contact Kevin and see if he will make you one. You can find him through the links in my post.
