a couple of bocotes butts, these are going down the westernBCA tournament.

I forgot to list my method I drilled and bored to install pins and inserts. I have a drill and boring bar mounted on my tooling post so it is relatively quick. But I do use drill bits, end mills, boring bars to make holes. My drill bits are cheap or average cost but I sharpen them with a...

run an experiment If I want to know if a tool will do the job I would just test it. Naturally if I can afford it too. In this case I would use some scrap wild grain wood and see if I can drill and install a pin. If the pin is centered and straight then I would say it works. Then go for it...

Billy Webb Hi Bill, nice to hear from you. Did you make it down south for the winter? I will say hello to Joe for you. He's still playing with your cue and love's it. I'm going to play him tomorrow if the snow melts. Ernie

Gary you're right again Hi Gary, It's good to hear from you. Hope things are going well. Life is good here. Just making sawdust with a smile on my face. Yup, there's a lot of extra sanding. I forgot to change the cutter So it was even worse. Things looked at little better with the Sharp...

thanks for the info I appreciate the feedback. I have made a few curly maple shafts and they seem to work so hopefully the BEM will work too. I always enjoy experimenting with different stuff. You never know if something works if you don't try it. I do have a barrel full of stuff the...

Does anyone have any experience with BEM shafts? I've decided to try some out from my stock of bem. The grains seem to be tight and straight. And so far they seem to be stable. I will be doing the final turning soon.

just some snakewoood noses. I just posting some wood combinations so players will know what is available. I have definitely built some combinations that did not look good in my opinion. They're many builders out there, Prather, John Davis, Smelke, Announceville. That way you can order...

just some blood wood combinations,

more cues in the mix, checking more colors

just some stuff in the works. checking the colors.

just another experiment on moving the center of gravity. I enjoying playing with a forward weighted cue and this feels good. It feels stable.

just a bunch of fullsplice cues going to the western BCA tournament this October. Lincoln City is a fun place to play and sell.

The flat laminate maple looks promising. It's heavier by approx. 30%. It's seems stiffer. My question is how stable is it? I want to build some cues that could be thrown in the trunk and survive. So far it seems to be very good. Just wondering if anyone has any experiences with this stuff.
