Ahhh that explains why the 1st pic I saw when I googled it said massur birch!

Not a cue maker either but know a little about machine work... In metal work (don't know why wood would be different) you subtract the pitch from the major diameter to find the drill size... easiest way to show is if you look at a machine bolt chart a 3/8" 16TPI bolt you use 3/8 - 1/16=5/16...

I've thought the same on the Maur Birch. It's lighter than the hickory burl but similar in look. (not familiar with karelian). Just googled it... very nice (and I agree)

Hickory Burl down... It's hickory, I was joking around. Thought the cue makers would enjoy seeing it.

You have me there, I've never seen any... You have me thinking, If I'm not mistaken if you buy Hickory lumber at a saw mill they'll interchange pecan I believe they're very closely related... I've never seen a pecan burl. I'll have to google it I bet they're similar.

LOL Yes sorry I was just a little to happy about it. Hard stuff to find, it's smooth bark Hickory, you're referring to shag bark hickory. I haven't found any burls on shag bark... yet. :)

"There's nothing like a nice piece of hickory. :thumbup: It cut up nicely too! :) Longest piece was about 17"

These were on the back of a buddy's farm... can you ID it?

Sue you for what? What a riot.

Purpleheart that is that brown is usually just fresh cut... I agree let the sun hit it for a day or 2.

Interesting I've never tried any leather treatment. I've always just hit 'em with a sharpie... (Disclaimer I'm not a cue maker and only do my own.)

Ok Mr Wilson, we've got 'em rounded up! :)

I'll give you an A+ for quick shipping! I don't know how you got them to me that fast. I've installed one (Pro SIB) and will be looking forward to seeing how it does. Thanks!

Sellers, I sell hunting calls and if you're like me you want to make it easy for folks to pay for what you're selling. If someone doesn't have paypal you still want them to be able to pay with just a credit or debit card right? Ok here's the tutorial. I copied the "Buy Now" button as a...

I've used the hippo on my calls for a few years now. I just put it on one of my cues and have liked it so far (maybe 2 weeks ago) but wondered if it would crack (as hard as it is) I've dulled a few band saw blades on the enamel (sparks fly!). I hope it holds up well what I used actually has a...

I was wondering if anyone here has tried or has some knowledge of using alternate types of Ivory for their ferrules? I'm thining warthog tusk, Elk Ivory's etc. Also what about horn, horn pen blanks are already turned close to diameter, that would be an easy one to try. Not sure how odd it...

Here's the joint, .838

No, I haven't done one with warthog yet. I have a small warthog tusk I'm hoping will be big enough. Thanks guys!
