Several new blanks. (full spice and other)

Here, for example.:smile:

I thought that from the fragment of the ancient horn, that I have left, I can make only one Hoppe ring, but managed to make a blank for two.

Maybe these two cues will get the similar Hoppe rings.

I have recently acquired an old, very well-made wood lathe. (Shopsmith)

I thought about tinkering around with making cues, and after looking through this collection I am a bit curious as to what exactly a "blank" is?

Sorry for the obviously novice question...
 
So then blanks is what you would make on a lathe.

I guess people buy the blanks and add decorations, and then a shaft? Is that right?

Do you mean that this blanks I purchased? No, all these blanks of my personal production, except for the bottom three Sneaky Pete blanks. Otherwise, what's the point of showing them here? :wink:

Just noticed a typo in the title of the topic :eek:. "Full spice" and "full spLice". Sorry. But I hope pepper (spice) also should be enough in them.:wink::thumbup:

Many people do, but Dmitry makes his blanks himself. Absolutely the BEST fullsplice work in the business, others are not even close to him, though they cost much more.
 
While three cues is in the coating process, assembled the next cue.

thanks for posting pics of your work Dimitri, it is very enjoyable to watch it go from parts to really nice cues :)
