My latest uses a Prather curly maple forearm. 6 long/short points, Olive wood and Rosewood. Black mother of pearl inlays, imitation ivory collar and butt plate, with maple and Kielwood shafts.

It is a must for me. I change tools too often. That ThinBit looks interesting too.

If you have a quick change tool post, I use these. Easy to sharpen.

Absolutely, Thank you for the opportunity. Pot some balls!!

Busy, busy, busy... My first international cue just arrived in England to a fellow AZB'er. He had a forearm from Prather shipped to me. After some back and forth on the design and it was off to the races. As a newer cue maker, I picked a slow horse, and it did take me a bit longer to make than...

Thank you for the shoutout! Why what do you know???

Possibly no need to send it off if the existing bumper is threaded or there is a weight bolt hole. The extension bumpers are available in different threads so you may be able to switch it out yourself and then just order the extension or have one custom made to match or at least look good.

I’ve had no issues with mine nor any of the others I’ve made so far.

Roasted Curly Maple (Kielwood) looks and plays great. Purpleheart is better for a break shaft.

Could that be Bondo?

If you move it to the Main forum. You'll probably get more responses.

Then you really need a cue smith. The shaft is easy the pin is much more difficult.

A .312 reamer would be better, but rigging up a drill press to dead center drill down into a shaft is not probable. Not impossible, but not really easy to do either.

A boring bar goes in as the cue spins and only removes the inner part of the thread.

A drill bit will wander and not be centered
