Aloha, It's been a while since I have been on here, but I'm looking for any information about an antique M.G. Wright pool table. Looks like it is from right around the early 1900's. The diamonds on the rails are all Ivory. Has the old twin pin spanner rail bolts. Interesting thing about...

P3 Revo Review Aloha Been a while since I have been on here. I have been contemplating the Revo since its introduction to the masses. Didn't want to go all in on the first ones as the price was a little high and the cue itself was not really appealing to me. Settled on the P3GN. When it...

Aloha How long is the blank?

Aloha Still researching this piece of wood/vine. Was wondering if any of the members in the southern states have ever cut any Kudzu Vine down and seen the trunk or base area of the vine. Seems as if older vines can reach up to 4" in diameter. It could be a possible candidate. The resources...

Aloha I believe you will see more of a cut break to make the wing ball in the corner on the breaks. Should constantly send the 1-ball to one of the end corners. I don't believe there will be a significant perctage drop in the run outs. First to nail the breaks will have the advantage. The...

Aloha Believe it or not, I found this in one of the Rubbish trucks I was working on, someone decided to just throw it away, I found some pictures online from shutterstock, but no where is the type of wood listed. Says driftwood, this pieceI have does not look to have seen the ocean, as it is...

Aloha No odor to speak of, not thinking it to be Cedar. Definetly not Peanut Butter Joey. I will try to do some research on the whole wine stalk, see what I find. Thanks for the help so far, the search continues. Aloha

Aloha On this picture you can see where some of the bark is still on the outside, so I would not think it is a vine. Definetly wood of some form.

Aloha The wood is completely dry, not real heavy, little more density then pine I would say, some burl and a lot of twisting.

Aloha Here's another picture.

Aloha Picked up an interesting specimen the other day and just putting this out there to see if anyone has any ideas as to the species. The bark was removed when I found the piece. Thinking with a little stabilization this could make some interesting pieces for future cues. Let me know what...

Aloha Contact Tom Hay, I think you will find what you are looking for in the Ultra Skins tips, no BS, just a great tip at a good price...! Aloha

Aloha Great read so far, But there is one issue that has not been touched in this thread that I believe is very important. Depending on the type of woods being used, be sure to prep the surfaces for the glue properly. A lot of the woods will have natural oils in the fibers which can keep the...

Aloha Give me the 7 and the breaks, and I'll give you all the practice you could want. Or find some time and come to Kona for a stay cation. Aloha

Aloha Did you say Doodles? Send'em my way! Aloha

Aloha Thanks for posting this, what a good match. If you watch the video closely you will see Red use a swoop stroke. 1st shot of part 3. Swoop stroke, Sorry I should not be bringing this over here. Thanks again Aloha

Aloha Copied this from a site, my mind went straight to coring. Personally have not tried it, but I'm anxious to give it a shot. In addition to relatively high strength, teak is also highly resistant to rot, fungi and mildew. In addition, teak has a relatively low shrinkage ratio, which makes...

Aloha Yes Sir, Yes Sir, Teak it is. I have come across some beautiful pieces over the years. Although most of it is plain, the figured and curly pieces are out there and readily available. There are some little nuances when it comes to finishing and sanding, but nothing that can't be over...

Aloha Yep! Aloha

Aloha Joey, You are hitting all round the park but still on two strikes. Let me give you a hint, Think marine. Aloha I'll let you know about the Koa, may be a few years though.
