And what exactly is it that you think you are showing here? You are showing one of the 2 cathedral sides of every piece of shaft wood that's ever been cut. Take a picture of the grain side of the wood Leon so everyone on here can see how perfectly straight every one of the 15-19GPI that wood is. All I see beside that is a little snipe from a doweling machine. And, no, actually it wasn't $13.00 wood, it was $12.00 a piece.
this is junk Lumber it's not worth anything to me....i Left you a voice mail on your phone asking you to call me it's about returning the shafts for a refund i got know responce.i have 13 bad shafts out of 25 that will never be used on any of my cues so keep the money it Looks like you need it more then i do.... i will bandsaw them for coring dowels...my Last post in this thread. it was $ 13.00 dollars each that's what i paid.
 
I've seen better dowels at my local Atwoods (farm & home) store. I'm sorry to hear you guys got burned, and i appreciate the feedback. Now, i can skip that agravation.
 
i knew it wouldnt take long for this guy to bury himself.

if you want to roll the dice and get some ungraded dowwels at least do it for the right price http://www.atlasdowel.com/pages/contact/ these guys supply alot of pool cue companies and its 100 dowells for 269.00 (if i remember right) this way if you get bad woood or coring wood it wont hurt so bad. seems like you will get the same stuff this geoff character sells.

Oh, you mean the message you left on my business phone at 9:21 PM on Saturday night, 49 minutes before you posted this thread last night ?

So, I saw this last night when I got home at. 1:30, was I supposed to call you back then ? You're just kidding yourself if you think I'm going to EVER return your call now that you pull this BS. Tell everyone the truth Leon, tell them you called me at 9:21 last night, waited 49 minutes and then posted this BS, sealing your fate to keep the shaft wood.

And yes, he is correct, he returned 24 shaft blanks to me, there is NO WAY he should have returned 22 of those 24, and the other 2 were only bad because he ran in to a small mineral spot after cutting the dowel he bought from 1" to a 900-750 taper. If you think that you are going to get 100% perfect shaft wood from any supplier you are kidding yourself! So, if you run into a small mineral mark after cutting it from a 1" Dowel to a 900-750 taper that's part of buying wood.

IS IT NOT ?

What was wrong with the ferrules?

Kelly

There was ABSOLUTELY NOTHING wrong with the melamine ferrules he bought. They weren't the color he likes so he accused me of selling something that wasn't a melamine ferrule, told me they are grice, or something else, I forget what exactly he accused me of selling as melamine. So I very cordially told him to send them back and I would gladly give him a refund I still don't have any ferrules returned.

I asked him, not you.

You were on AZB in the cuemakers section looking at a Taig Lathe thread before Leon posted up his thread. Hopefully nobody else will be sucked in by your blatent lying. You need to get another business other than a con man. Do every cuemaker a favor and get lost.

Here are 5 pieces I got. I sent them and 9 others back. Keeping 2 that meet the decription in the add. I returned 14 pieces. Geoff was nice enough to send 16 replacement dowells. 6 of those will make shafts, not great shafts. For my money and trouble. I may get 8 useable shafts and 10 coring dowells. Will not be a repeat customer!

I honestly feel bad for those of you who dont have the local
ability to walk in and pick out your own wood

in 2 more months when im shoveling snow il will feel less
bad for some of you though
 
Goef. Leave me alone. If you want to cuss, accuse me of not being a man(again), tell me to get a life....ect, you do so in public or to my face if you ever see me. All of our discussions have been in PM's and that is where I wanted to keep them until I finally came to my senses and realized what kind of person you are. I did that for your benefit. I doubt all the unsolicited name calling and your attitude towards me would have done you any favors. I know I'm a jerk for offering to write an article on your behalf to help people understand your grading and shaftwood, yah that is my poor character showing through. Anything you have to say to me now can be shared in public.

Save your pms for others who care to hear from you and my pm space for people I want to hear from.

Your latest PM that I wasted my time reading.

"How many times have I told you to send back the pieces you aren't happy with Randy ? Now you want to play games like this ? This is so ridiculous Randy, and you know full well what I'm talking about. you take a picture of 1 piece out of HOW MANY that you bought from me ? Yet, I still haven't received anything back! Have I ? "

I already posted I don't care to send back the others. You want me to spend my time taking pictures of the duds, just like you wanted me to turn the duds? If you spent as much time looking at what you are grading and sending out what you advertise, then this wouldn't be an issue.

Games? What games? What have I posted that wasn't true? That I spent 700.00? That you insult me? That you asked me to turn the duds? That you turn into some other person if something isn't going your way? That I offered to help you? That you changed your grading? That your previous selling effort with the taper bars showed your propensity towards anger and...?

I learned that I wasn't alone in my assessment of you and decided my money and efforts are better spent with with others.

Geof wanted some pics

I was VERY fair when I sorted them as I admit I'm new. Here are the ones that seemed OBVIOUSLY bad.

more. Shaft 9 had maybe 12 GPI and was very lopsided. Not the "exceptional 12 gpi" that may be few and far between.

Shaft 10 ring count? It had 11 gpi to be generous. I tried to enhance the end and that make is at 1.007 with the max lines included to be nice.

I stopped at 10 and had 15 or so that I found laying(literally)around. This doesn't take into consideration any of the ones I hung and probably won't make it. I am done taking pics. I think the point is already made.

Getting sent 20% of product that IS NOT what you paid for is unacceptable. For those who returned their rejects and then were sent more rejects, I thank you for saving me the time, energy, and money of sending back mine.

Get a life!

Bump with some new info on this junk wood.

Nobody gives a rip what you and this genius Randy think. Take a picture of the grain side of the wood Leon, and take it so the color of the wood is somewhat close to what it actually is. Quit hiding behind your poor picture taking skills.

Hey Larry, why don't you take a picture of the wood that I replaced your wood with. Not a picture of what you sent back, who cares about what you sent back, you didn't have to keep that wood, it was replaced so why is that even relevant? OH, it's not ? Yeah, I thought so.

So, lets see the grain on the dowels that you received as replacements. If you have enough integrity to take pictures of the actual wood you received.
