This is the cue in question.

Chris, I'm not throwing in the towel yet but work is suspended for now. I may be parting with some wood to make the next move easier. My curly oak is staying though. As for which generation shaft, I have no idea. It will be my first. The joint is solid black and will have 5/16-14 screw.

I was done with the construction of a butt but had to move. It is slightly out of round. (I thought I tracked the problem down but I was mistaken.) What would you charge to make it round and finish with a Z2 shaft? Remember, PM only. Also, I am in Columbus, Ohio now.

Everything is worth what you can get for it.

Hardwood flooring is a great start. I'm not sure where to look for the blank. Maybe furniture.

If you learn how they are made, these questions will be answered.

Leather wraps are reasonably cheap for everyone. The installation is what costs money. It is time consuming and requires additional materials/tooling which equals money invested.

That's the first tip on tips that I haven't already heard before in ages and it doesn't sound kookie. Thanks.

Ryan rocks.

They know the risks walking in the door. Unlike you, they had their big boy pants on. If a player practices his lag, he has better odds of winning the lag. If he then attempts a high risk shot for his first shot, he will reap what he sows, regardless of wether it is pocketed or not. It's a lot...

That Walnut looks fantastic. Joss uses a fair bit of birch.

Minwax wipe on poly is worth looking into.

That depends on who you ask. Some will pay loads for 30 rings per inch. Others don't even want them.

Next time, go to a good hardware store. Ours has oodles of different screws in all different sizes.

Me too, but not everybody has my fingers. When I worked on the assembly line at Nissan, my hands ached often. This would be a perfect technique for addressing that issue.

Don't forget that weight of the cue will also effect the felt shockwave from hitting the ball. For every force action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. As weight increases, the sharpness of the felt recoil reduces.

Yeah, facing it with the lathe is a new one, but I don't see it as a bad idea. It would certainly save fingers and sandpaper.

Per its application in a cue, stainless should never corrode. Other steels are less resistant to corrosion.

How many continents have all white wood? We have American Holly. I posted a pic, but it seems to blend in with the background. We also have an ebony, persimmon.

There are some awesome woods with as much figure as you could want on this continent. Oak, hickory, and maple are 3 easy picks. For appearance, good luck beating black walnut crotch wood. Check the recent post titled 'local wood'.
