    Bloodwood full splice. Going to highest bid.

    Highest bidder at 4PM Pacific time on 6/12/10. I built this cue when I was adjusting my full splice jig and the veneers are not perfect. The flaws are very small and I can't bring myself to throw this cue away. It looks great and will play better. The guys that stop by my shop have not...

    Fullsplice...

    Yes Every cue is prone to warp if the woods are not stable, shafts fallow the same rules. A core can help but doesn't prevent.

    New cues - Who made these?

    It was entertaining. I would ask for .010" and he would cut .030". The funniest one was putting on the ferrules and he was at 13.15". I told him to cut one more tinny cut to get it to 13.10". After that tinny cut the ferrule was 12.50". Good thing we didn't use Ivory on that one...

    router speed & mount

    A Rotozip is not as loud as the Portercable and runs 30,000 RMP's. I cut the speed down and it runs very quiet. It's a good alternative for an extra router at a good price.

    New cues - Who made these?

    ................. It was a learning experience for both of us. I had no idea how hard it is to show somebody how to build a cue. If any builders are thinking about doing this for somebody it's not easy. He had his ups and downs. I laughed each time he pulled out the drill bit and it was hot...

    Sneakies

    ....................... This is my favorite Sneaky that I've built. I don't like Turquoise inlays but when they are small they look beautiful.

    Anyone using Shellawax or finish shafts?

    Buy the chips and mix it with alcohol. The $17 alcohol they sell to mix it with works the same as a bottle of 90% rubbing alcohol you can buy for $2.00. One bag of chips will make a lifetime of shellac. I used shellac for a shaft sealer when I started building and it works nice. It takes 3...

    What's your opinion?

    ......................... As long as the cue flows it doesn't matter. Both can look great. I prefer the full splice look. I'm cautious when using the forearm wood in the butt sleeve, if the colors don't flow it looks like the cue has an extension glued on the butt. I wanted to start...

    Scott Gracio Dark Rosewood Titlist Conversion

    ................... The cue on top is a picture before conversion. Rare Titlist Snooker. I've been talking to Icanbcuz about the hit and tone. This cue is one of my early cues and my Ivory joint technique back then didn't have a consistent hit. If the cue hits with a low tone I'll change...

    Lengths of First Cut?

    Hi Bob This must be why you called. First off are you cutting with a band saw or Table saw? The band saw kicks up less dust and cuts thinner. More finished product :) I'd start by marking lengths to see how to fit as many 30", 18" and 13" in each board. If you have extra make the...

    4 veneer full splice with black paper.

    Not sure. I like papers separating the veneers when the colors are similar. I'm surprised we don't see more full splice with papers. If you have one and time to take pics please share them. I have to give credit to Cyrex. I was getting ready to glue my veneers together and he mentioned...
