Earlier this year, I embarked on another fruitless search which is not an uncommon experience for me. I spent years searching for a Hercek pool cue in vain and did the same thing looking for Black Speck Cortland Linen. I offered a substantial finders fee for any successful referral. Alas, it was in vain despite my best efforts and so you just move in. Recently, I attempted another search that similarly turned into looking for another Golden Fleece. I want to get a KW shaft that matches the weight of my cues original maple shafts. Last October, I purchased my 1st KW shaft from Superior Cues.it weighs 3.81 ozs, 29,5”, 12.85mm which happens to be the weight of my lightest maple shaft. It plays great but Cory doesn’t build anything but radial threads. I want to add 3/8x10 and 3/8x11 Kielwood shafts but weighing close to 4 ozs. KW shafts are lighter because of the torrification process, however, with a heavier blank, producing a KW shaft like I want made is doable. There is a modified 3/8 x10 Ned Morris 13 mm KW shaft listed on eBay weighing 4.3 ozs. I’m looking to get two 12.75mm KW shafts. What I want built can be done but it requires the right wood and cue maker. I previously wrote I had located someone. I was wrong because they were wrong. I was told this could be done but just learned today the first shaft turned out almost a 1/2 oz ( 0.4 ) lighter than anticipated. The cue maker will merely sell the shaft as I’m not obligated to purchase it. However, I am back to square one again. I posted a thread in the Cue Maker’s Section asking if anyone is up to building what I want. If you happen to know of a builder that can make a heavier KW shaft like I want, please do send me a PM. I mostly play with my Scruggs cue because it is my only cue with a radial joint that is what my Barnhart KW shaft is. I have five other wonderful cues in my case and I’d like to get two KW shafts so all my cues can play with a KW shaft rather than only my Scruggs cue. Any help you might be able to offer is very much appreciated. There is only 1 KW shaft in my case but I’d like to get 2 more KW shafts so all my cues have one.
