This may be a better question for the "Ask the Cue Maker" section, but it doesn't get a lot of traffic. We always bellyache when we don't get our cue on time, so how long does it really take?
If a cue maker could work 8 hours/day on a cue how long would it take before it's ready for delivery? This is from rough wood to finished product. I understand that cues and makers are all different. For example; how many inlays, if you use a pre-made blank, wrap vs wrapless, etc.
For this example lets say it's a 4 point cue, full splice that the maker builds, wrap, no inlays, and delrin buttcap with bumper. This assumes that the maker has shafts ready for final turning and doesn't have to go through that whole process. What do you think?
Edit: By the way, this is not directed at any cue maker and I don't have a cue being built right now. Just an honest question to satisfy my curiosity.
