Looking for a Brunswick light. I'm in the Boston area and willing to pay for shipping. Thanks.

I believe solid letters would require pocketing. Engraving only gives you the outline of the letters. You would also need to use a straight bit, not a pointed bit unless I'm misunderstanding your question.

I've had a few offers, holding out to get a little closer to the asking price. $500/bo. Chris- thanks for adding the additional info.

Sold. Thanks for all the offers. Thanks, Alex Alpert 617-212-3190

one more pic of the "capitals" inlay pieces.

Finished this up last night. Hockey themed cue going to Tom Poti of the Washington Capitals. Acrylic impregnated maple forearm, 2 high and 2 low points (3 veneers / 5 veneers), elforyn joint and butt, 30 ivory crossed hockey sticks, 2 full hockey rink layouts in the butt, "capitals" and "poti...

what about these- any way of knowing other than positive feedback? http://cgi.ebay.com/BRAZILIAN-ROSEWOOD-Resaw-Billet-GUITAR-BUILDER-LUTHIER-/110670966884?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item19c480f064...

Gary- the screw only weighs .15 ounces but is threaded into the wood below the joint. The joints isn't any looser after removing the screw so I'm not sure of it's exact purpose. Ryan- is that $90 to make a joint that fits or $90 for a whole shaft with the joint? I was going to make the shaft...

Anyone familiar with this joint pin configuration? The male threads are on the shaft. More importantly, can I get another male to make another shaft? I'm told by the owner that the cue is at least 40 years old. Thanks. Alex Alpert

when's the tutorial on the Fleur De Lis coming?

Finished this up late last night (or early this morning depending how you look at it). Walnut butt and points into BEM. Butt, joint collars and ferrules are Elforyn. Everything else white is ivory. The mitered boxes have ivory dots and diamonds inside an ebony oval. This is my first cue...

I have the same mill also. Be careful with Grizzly. I ordered mine and was given the run around for 7 months until it finally came in. I got all sorts of excuses "back ordered", "stuck at customs", "waiting to be assermbled", etc... So I did the next best thing- I used Tony Zinzola's until...

Here’s my latest cue, finished just in time for Christmas. It’s a gift for my son’s hockey coach. Ebony butt and points into a cored birdseye maple forearm with matching joint protectors. All dots and diamonds are ivory. Butt and joint collars are Aeigis II. Cue weighs in at 19.82 ounces...

Can anyone tell me about this Brunswick cue? The forearm has points going in both directions, the butt has a Brunswick logo under acrylic and mitred boxes. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! Alex Alpert

The answer seems to be to buy American. A member was kind enough to offer to have my bit re-ground to a true 90 degrees. Thanks for the replies and phone calls.
