Never seen a round nose router bit.... https://www.rockler.com/freud-round-nose-router-bits-1-4-in-shank Thanks!

Can you show some details about a round bottom bit and how its used to make those large thumb groves?

Curious how you make those finger indentations. Thanks

The vault plate sets below the ferrule? Seems the plate would have to have a hole in it. So its really a vault donut? Maybe a list with the order of the parts will clarify. I see 5 parts in the shaft pic...really?

You should look into super glue finish. I was also very frustrated with what finish to use. Tried several including solerez. Never used or tried auto clear...too much hassle, expense and danger for me. Im not a cue maker full time, just a cue making hack thats made a few cues. I read a couple of...

Lower deflection? You are punking us...right?
