Mike Webb Bumperless Hoppe Cue

[EddySJ]

I believe Mike does an overlap method for veneers, with some twists thrown in to keep the intersections really clean. But you probably already knew that.

I would assume that recut points is not what you are referring to... forgive my limited knowledge.
Overlap like a lap joint? (the style that produces a seam on the edge of the veneer intersection, not the 45 bevel down the middle of 2 that have been cut?) I don't recall the technical term for this, but I have seen inprocess pics for it somewhere... Now I will have to find them LOL

I dont think they are recuts...but I could be wrong



And not only does Mike make a tight cue but they play very very very well!!!
Lot of locals here play with Webb cues...one local house pro totally changed his game when he switched to a Webb, I never seen him move the rock like he does now...not to say he wasnt good before!

I believe Glen was being facetious in his reply. I think he was referring how tight the veneers actually are. They are very impressive.


Mike used mitered veneers on this cue.


Paul - What region are you from? They are also popular in the CT area as well. I had a Webb cue many years ago that I purchased second hand. Mike absolutely nailed this cue in regards to my requests. After many years of being in and out of cues, I've learned a lot about my stroke. This cue lacks nothing in my opinion.



Thanks again guys,
Chris

I don't get involved in the Gallery section to often, but here's a picture to help you understand. CMD's cue is mitered veneers, pictured left. I do both methods, mitered, and overlapped. I use to do re-cuts but haven't had the time or patience to do them in a long time. Understanding and defining all three methods has just about driven me completely out of my mind. I have always felt, That I can, and should, offer both veneer methods. Re-cuts on a lathe, only if I want to pursue a nervous breakdown. :grin:

The overlapped method finished.

My most aggressive re-cut that I did, 6 points with 3 cuts on each point, on a lathe between centers, aligning by eye and measure with a vernier as I went. This one really took a toll on me, Blood wood, Birdseye Maple and Tulip into Ebony.

got it... saw a previous post

I got it now... I was on the right track. The stacked versus mitered and of course recut.

I saw a previous thread with Mr. Webb's pic of his stacked and mitered points on a "nice rack" as another poster put it.

Also, thanks for posting the current pics... very informative.

Mike Webb's fit & finish looks to be among the best.

I`ll 2nd that motion Uncle Ted. You just don`t see many of Mikes cues come forsale on the secondary market as well. They must play damn good.
Someday I hope to try one out for myself.
