Do cue makers who make wood shafts still use a wood sealer dip?

The main chemical is Nelsonite that you don't want prolonged exposure to is Xylene. Stabilizers don't really let you make shafts faster. I've never heard a cuemaker guarantee a shaft will stay straight.
Not the cue guys but the mass producers of Viking, Lucasi, - whoever the actual mfgers. There's way less wait for the wood to settle itself.

I’m going to sell my Runde ST-11…
FYI, Bob Runde left Schon in 1992. The Schon in the pics was 1993, the only year
they used that pin and Schon an shaft diameter on the collar.
Only Schon I've owned was a '93 STL 1. Great cue but too stiff hitting for me.
I imagine there might be an overlap from when these pins/collars started and Bob left but I don't think that's the case.
Someone else may chime in and correct me if I'm wrong. Nice cue.

I just ordered a BOMB break and playing cue from Gulyassy. Ebony forearm with a white and black ebony handle and 4” extension. The playing cue is 60” with an even split. I can shoot every shot on a 7’ table with it. I add the 4” extension and can shoot any shot on a 9’.

The shaft is kielwood, 30” with a 12.5mm tip and ordered with a stiff feedback.

I wanted something classy but not over the top and something to make my main player. I ordered 5 matching rings on the butt which I debated back and forth on. I’m glad that I won’t have to care about matching shaft rings in the future.

I opted not to go with a white ring on the butt cap.

Overall, I couldn’t be more pleased. I absolutely love how the cue plays. I have been most impressed with the Jump/Break cue.

The jump/break does separate at the upper handle but I always leave it screwed in. I can jump with the full cue with control as easily as I can with my air rush. I love grabbing my break cue, stepping up to the table and executing a jump without any unscrewing or requiring of a short cue. I’m very happy with how it breaks but mostly surprised at how well it does jumping with the full cue.
I also am a fan of Mike's pool cues and his jump break cues they're top shelf all the way !
