Well dd, as bd said, there are some variations to be decided on. But I'm
a bit curious as to just what do you mean by the phrase
"make the blank their own"?

Cut off the rear 6 inches in the band saw. Bore a hole down the full length. Glue in a 30in maple dowel. Put on the rings and a 6 inch butt sleeve of ebony. Add a joint screw. Make a shaft and put on a ferrule and tip. add a bumper. Put a nice finish on it and It's mine................

There's not much money in them if you like them cheap.
They're not cut down house cues made into a cue the day after it was cut down.
They require just as much work and seasoning as regular cues.

Hi DD:
I'm pretty sure I'm going to be the abnormal situation here but the few that I have done as FAVORS, goes like this.
1-It is my opinion that some of the wood being used is green, (Unseasoned)
2- I do a true up pass
3- I core it
4- it sits, and starts into my seasoning process.
5-Seasoning the wood, starts and stops in my shop.
6-I don't put my logo on them because I converted it, not fully constructed it.
7-I don't like to do them.
The book has all your answers you dont have to build a cue just as you dont have to part the Red Sea to read the bible.
