Hello, Since this is public, I would publicly like to apologize to anyone who is or has waited for me to finish their work. I'd also like to apologize to you for any lack of communication from me. For me it all gets a bit overwhelming sometimes, and hard specially when I don't feel I have...

"S" Logo Regarding the Logo, me and Leon more than good. Leon and I both understand how we each felt about using the "S" as our logo back then as we have spoke many times about it since. The important thing is we each have our own established Logo today and the respect is mutual. While I very...

Stainless I haven’t. I’ve threaded a number of different materials over the top of stainless joints making it so you don’t see the stainless at all, as well as just halfway up only. Always threaded. Dennis PS; Nice bass!!

What the heck! Hi Chris, You've made it clear you don't like stainless joints and you're far from alone which is fine, but there are a lot of people who do like them and request it. Most of us who will make a stainless piloted joint cue also make cues without stainless or piloted. For you...

Soft vs Hard tips If you could take two tips that had the same traits with the only difference being actual hardness the difference in contact time with the cue ball hit with the same speed of stroke is nearly nothing. Fractions of a thousandths of sec. Even with a soft tip hit at a low...

Warning A couple of years ago I went to New York to look at a huge supply of Brazilian Rosewood I had intended on buying all of. Well it was a rosewood, and it could be from Brazil I don't know. But what I did, and do know is that it's not "Dalbergia Nigra". What a wasted trip that was. KJ...

Plain Jane web site :) I can't believe you guy's are making fun of my web site. I've got hundreds of hours in creating it.:D Besides I thought plain jane traditional was the ultimate way to go, no veneers, inlays, or anything that won't help pocket balls.:grin-square: Truth is, I don't...

# of inlays/.005" endmills First thank you all for the really nice compliments!! I'm honored that I got to build a cue that in return would help some one in my family in a serious time the way it did. Thank you Sean! I'm not an inlay counter. I design a cue in a way that makes me feel...

Inlays/.005" bits First thank you all for the really nice compliments!! I'm honored that I got to build a cue that in return would help some one in my family in a serious time the way it did. Thank you Sean! I'm not an inlay counter. I design a cue in a way that makes me feel it...

Story in wrong context While part of this story is true, what I said, and especially the context it was put in is not only incorrect but disappointing to me. From the very first cue I ever built for someone else I've held to the policy that if when you receive the cue from me, if you...

Thank you!! I had an awesome day thanks to Gretchen, and seeing this thread just topped of a perfect day!! Thank you to all of you guys for making my birthday even nicer. It was over whelming. Thank you Chris for starting it. :) Simon, and Tommy I think I may just need to take you guys up...

First, Thank you Steve for taking the wheel to make this happen for Mike's family. Mike will missed by all of us that got know him. I will miss him, and will be praying for his family to get through this as good as they can. We all know Mike was a very hard worker, and it makes me sad to know...

Original Maker only! Only if done by the original maker, then depending on the makers equipment, and ability, it's very possible to add inlays to a finished cue in some cases. I would also recommend cutting pockets before the original finish is removed, as it can aid in preventing chipping...

My post was only intended to point out that no one can really tell by looking at an already turned dowel, or shaft, whether it was cut from a flat or quartersawn board. Thank you, Dennis

Flat VS Quartersawn? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This grain pattern is "quartersawn" and is characterized by the ray flecks that are circled in your photo. Ray Flecks: Rays, or strips of cells, store food and transport it horizontally...

Awesome bridge work! Thank you for the very nice compliment! However looking at the photo in post #6, I don't think it's possible to execute bridge work better than what Ron did in that cue. Just awesome!! Love it! Dennis

Searing on Ebay To all concerned, the cue is completely legit. I just made two new shafts to match the same method at the pilot as I did back when I originally made the cue. It was also refinished. It's a very early conversion cue from me. The blank was one of the old valley supreme's that came...

Thank you!!!! What a nice suprise! Thank you Jun for the initial post. I didn't expect this when I decided to check out what was new in the forum this morning, and certainly not from so many people!! I want to thank all of you for the awesome birthday well wishes, and the super compliments...

Bubble Gum Secret Hey DB This is DS. I only told EC, and EC promised He wouldn't give anyone else the DB secret. Now I know I can't trust EC to keep high tech info a secret. :rolleyes: DS :grin: PS; DB How do you keep everything from sticking to the cue when you use BG system?
