Mike, hope this is what you're looking for. I put a temp. pin in and
hit a few, it sounds solid. Things aligned within tolerances. It still
will be awhile before I put a finish on it.
another experiment...just full splice, with sharp recut points top and bottom. Accually not tuff just slow. Dave Jones and I will donate the finished cue to the WesternBCA for a raffle for the October Lincoln City tournament. I will try to keep you posted with the progress. Has anyone done...
hi Dave, here are some unfinished blanks, different lenght points, small square bottoms, different top point position, different coring methods, if something interests you sent me a message and I'll get with Jim.
just another opinon
I screwup again and posted it in the wrong place hopefully this will find the right place.

All of the following is my two cents, and my opinion. Most of what I have to say as already been said. But I do have some thoughts.

All of the following is my two cents, and my opinion. Most of what I have to say as already been said. But I do have some thoughts.
I believe the pilot joint was designed to help center the shaft and butt. I use this concept using a 3/8-16 pin. As mentioned...
my cue
Oh yeah, I play with a balance point 22.5", and I always thought the balance point should be measured from the tip. When you address the cueball you want a balance from that point. If you were using a longer cue with the same balance from the butt then it would be further back from...
more techniques
More info on my techniques for moving the balance point. The simple one is adding weight to the shaft by installing a threaded rod. If you use a threaded insert, then bore a deeper hole and install a 7/16 set screw of the weight you want. Becareful, when I first tried this I...
balance point
I specialize in forward weighted cues. I drill and tap the shaft and install a threaded rod of what weight I need then install a threaded insert for the pin. If it is 3/8 10 then I just drill a deeper hole and install a 3/8 10 rod in the shaft. I know this is a late addition...
