Oh, never mind. Didn't notice where it said they're out of stock.

Someone sent me this: http://www.billiardsforum.com/pool-table-identification/identify-this-brunswick-8ft-pool-table?fbclid=IwAR2hHUKKb8s7xL-gMoOgcZaHwJvhfHCnDgilWaQXk-5W1XEUFXSmsU1k-rw

Good to know. Thanks guys.

I've never seen this one before. Can anyone share any info please?

Hi guys, Built the cue in the photo for myself but have a customer that just had to have it. Now he wants me to make him a curly kielwood shaft for it with as much figuring as in the butt. Are there concerns having that much curl in a shaft? Does it change the structural integrity?

I would drill to 1/4", then bore to final size before tapping. Drill bits tend to wander and you wont be concentric. I used a .309 pin gage for final hole size.

I needed to throw together a new break cue for myself after someone just HAD to buy mine the other day. Found a 30" piece of bocote in my wood stash and figured, why not? Rough cut from square, tapered, built, and finished in three days. If it warps on me, no biggie. Don't really like bocote...

Thanks Guys! If I were using it as a handle, can I get away with coring it or does it need to be stabilized? Seems to be much more structurally sound than most other burls I've seen.

Hey Guys, Is this Madrone Burl? Weighting in right about 50lbs/cu ft. Thanks!

+1 for the soft jaws from Langley. One big plus is that you don't need to tighten your chuck much at all to get a good grip that won't slip. Also makes indicating easier. A very (VERY) light tap on your high-side chuck jaw is quite effective.

Hey Guys, In trying to cut trim rings to consistent sizes, I use a set of calipers and hold it with one hand between the tool post and one of the chuck jaws while moving the cross slide with the other hand. It's tedious and janky to say the least. Anyone else that's using a Mid-America/Unique...

I just ordered one of these Tiger Claw cutters in 5/32". I'm going to try it centered and off-center with the rounded edge portion doing the cutting. Will report back.

Any opinions on using this for tapering? https://www.fastenmaster.com/products/tiger-claw-slot-cutters.html The rounded edges are intriguing.
