Shit, now the rest of the thread shows up for me and it is indeed a Blud. I swear I'm not day drinking........yet.

Right looks like a Bludworth. Not 3/8-11.

It doesn’t matter because 99% of those that suck with a wood shaft will also suck with a CF shaft. Pool players are getting as bad as golfers trying to buy a game. Will drop $500 on the new hot shaft but won’t spend a dime for a lesson.

If you are making corn bread in anything but a cast iron skillet you are missing out.

Think Bruce has been day drinking again.

No, but I made cues au naturel before. Had to be careful not to stand too close to the lathe.

Who said I wasn't?

I do not know who currently has the cue.

Thanks, Sorry to derail your thread.

I 100% built that cue. I gave it to him to play in some senior events many years ago when he was not building cues. After he passed a picture of it popped up and he had put his red dot in the butt cap. I can see that it has been re wrapped and the bumper was changed. Not sure if he kept my pin...

Looks surprisingly like mine.

Fun fact. Leonard did not build the cue he is holding in that picture.

Sure it is but I was addressing the sharp vs round. Panto's just don't magically make a sharp inlay. Plus most of the templates used are made on a CNC. I know, I've made the templates for some pretty famous cues.

This shit makes my head hurt. A panto and a CNC inlay machine use the EXACT same cutter and produce the EXACT same pocket. Both will be round (cutter diameter) unless they are sharpened. There is no magic bullet that makes a panto cut a sharp pocket. Razor sharp diamonds into light wood with no...

Pantographs are great. I built lots of templates for them on my CNC.

Not true. I have one from the early 60's. Still in service but the tape reader has been replaced by more modern controls.

Capitalistic pig.

They are only straight as long as the mandrel they are built on is straight and the guy operating the finish sander is competent.

Ryan might have done the wrap but rest of it not his style.

Pin, joint collar and butt look correct. Who knows why it was painted black though. Many cues are cored so not unusual to see the pin set into maple. I can't see anyone trying to fake Bludworths. My guess it was damaged and this was a repair.
