    Ridgeback Rails

    I’ve had the ridgeback pro cut rails for over a year now. They are tighter than diamond pro cut pockets without a doubt!...,the pocket opening is 4 1/8 and tapers down to 3 5/8. They will spit balls out all day long and as the cloth breaks in it gets worse. Banking is on the tighter side..,That...

    Would you use this shaft?

    Thanks Alan and Larry.. going to give it a shot I suppose. Just hate to waste a 25$ kamui tip on it. Ssonerai, I’m pretty sure it was hard maple. It cut like the other shafts I have. I bought this blank from Schmelke so I’m pretty confident with that aspect of it but it was super white. Maybe it...

    Would you use this shaft?

    I’m making a cue for a friend. I finished the shaft today and it’s very light at 3.2ozs. It doesn’t have a brass insert (will be a 3/8-10 wood joint) or any metal in the joint ring, it’s 30” long, pro taper, and 12.9 at the tip. I knew it would be light from the start but not sure about it now...

    Cleaning linen phenolic collar

    Some help here gents please. I’m making a cue with a cocobolo forearm. When I finish the cuts the coco dust/ oil is staining the white linen collar. I’ve tried cleaning it with denatured alcohol and sanding it out with no luck. What can I use to get this clean? Thanks guys

    New shaft from OB

    I don’t believe there’s any resin infusing that’s going on. My understanding is it’s heated and moisturized then heated again to a higher temp essentially destroying cell structure so it can no longer absorb moisture. Not 100% sure on that but I just made 2 roasted shafts and I didn’t notice any...
