My Kenneth Murrell is final size!!

Now thats a Skyscraper-towering about others !

I was always wondering about where the gorilla glue was being used by others!! Coring ,coring- If I hadn't been gluing a crack this wk end on a special bear- I'd still never know. thanks for sharing the pictures- mark Remember you don't have to get one so so fancy, they all play the same from K.M.,but the work is still high, high quality,fit and finnish! mark
 
this cue, from design concept to execution from Kenny, will be one of my all time favorite cues.....kudos on the vision and choosing a maker to make it reality!....

skins....................wow.....:thumbup:
 
o man that package is gonna be amazing for both of us. cant wait to get it. btw, the instant it gets delivered to the place, i'm driving straight there to pick it up. i will not wait if u have work lol.
 
you know its kind of funny all the people who reply to this great cue are missing how great it is . look the maple recut at the bottom of the point how did he get the maple in there I looked at it for ever and don't quite know. don't even come back unless you build and splice cues..............

Great workmanship and design!

As for the maple you mentioned, I believe a thick maple ring was sleeved at the bottom of the points before doing the final recut with the ebony point. This gives a boxed impression (not the mitered type). I believe this is te only way the maple got there:D

way off, way to easy not even close . look at the pics that show the lower end of the points . the points were cut and than maple was added in between this is not easy. if a maple ring was added it would be maple all the way around , black was added a piece maple in between.
 
if you go back to the pics and look just adding maple seams easy ''not'' don't for get the veneers are dead even et the bottom , how did that happen you can try to glue them that way but you will fail.....
 
Crazy design. To be honest, it didn't appeal to my eye in the original drawing, but it really comes together when executed in the wood.

Congratulations on a spectacular cue. Looks like Mr. Murrell really nailed it.

I may be wrong and you may be right.
I believe I see it rather differently. The mitered points look is due to the overlapping of the point woods during recut process, it appears to me that they are not the same as the 45 degree mitered veneer points where they are exactly at the middle but rather similar to mitered using the overlap technique. Again this is just my humble opinion and may differ from the norm:smile:

your right about that, but I'm talking about the maple box at the bottom. I think I will do some points like this on my next cue, all recuts made to look like a full splice ,because the way the points come together sweet.
 
This one of those cues that just jumps off the page at you.

Congratulations on such a spectacular cue. :smile:

You are 100% correct this is how kenneth was able to get the boxed look at the bottom of the points.
