pm's Welcome.

Over the past few months, I have viewed several luthier videos that others have posted here on the forum. One particular video showed the luthier tapping on various species of woods that he used in the necks and the tops of his guitars. He discussed tonal qualities and resonance. The ebony had...

handle and wrap options...very nice cue The top pic appears to show some figure in the handle. I was liking the look of the cue as is, and I then read the bit about the option to wrap it. I think it would be interesting to see what the handle would have looked like with a light brown stain to...

sweet damascus... Is that a true stainless damascus? The pin looks really sweet... I abandoned trying to get a damascus joint collar and pin from a bit of research I did when first wanting to get a cue done like 15 years ago. At that time, one of the guys at Texas Knifemaker Supply told me the...

Very Nice... excellent work Jim... all of them look great. Take care.

nice quilted... that is one of my favorite woods...Beautiful cue.

Best equipment doesn't mean best attention to quality... Production cue brands I have bought that I feel are overpriced: Meucci, Joss, McDermott. I returned all of the Meucci items due to quality issues... I never used them because I bought something different after I returned the defective...

In response to the OP... and the curly bubinga deleted...

Very Good pics of all types of woods and their known figures Hello everyone, There are many posts and threads that ask what type of wood is seen in a picture of a cue, etc... I am not a CM, but this is a very good resource for wood ID issues. I have attached a link to a nice site that has...

Deleted due to rule for outside links.

saw a video on finding shaft pivot length... I saw a video on You-tube a while back that had someone explaining back hand english with several practicals on the table, etc... His explanation for finding the shaft pivot length was to do a short test by gradually increasing the distance of the...

LOL...that kid that got caned got what he deserved. That is hilarious...can't stop laughing EKB...sounds like a great fix for the ferrule issue. From your first post, I thought that there was a gap between the ferrule and the shoulder... I guess I need to re-read. Jeremy

Many thanks... won't have to twist my arm to take another trip there! thank you three... I did see that one and ruled it out initially due to cost. It came up on a fly fishing forum when I researched the Buthcers wax. It is funny how things came full circle. The harsh odor is a big down point...

more info and thanks.... Thank you to all who posted. From my additional research, everything posted here is dead accurate (100% agrees with what I found anyway). According to the Butcher's people, Denat alcohol does not dissolve the Carnauba. It is used for analine dyes/powders when...

Thanks Mr. Lomax... I agree. I was thinking that the carnauba wouldn't be that expensive for the amount I needed. I already had the Denatured alcohol for cleaning purposes. Personally, I kinda thought it would be fun to make... Have you used the product you mentioned? I'll see if I can find...

to Meucci Man... I had an issue with a Meucci shaft after the move back to Byhalia. I ordered a Dot shaft and the Collar was not bored center. It was at least 10 to 15 thousandths off, as you could easily see a crescent shaped gap on one side where the Phenolic ring was supposed to meet the...

Hello all, I know this cue wax topic is varied, so I am going to ask a specific question. The MSDS (material safety data sheet) for the Butchers wax lists Carnauba, Paraffin, Turpentine, and Mineral spirits as the main ingredients. If I wanted to make a batch of my own "home brew" Would the...

Nice Work... Very nice point work Dick. I remember the cue with the purple heart handle that you posted inside a DZ cue review from Josh I believe. He had a cue similar to it with Cadet Blue in the veneer stack. Both Cues looked really nice. Jeremy

Thanks again...glad for the posts. Thanks again to all those who posted. I am glad to see that some business was taken care of too... Not that it wouldn't have anyway but still nice to see. El Beau, was the Steel Blue ever called Cadet Blue? Dick, do you have some pics of your veneered cues? I...

Thanks... Thanks for the posts so far. It is nice to see willingness to help out with small details. I will continue to dig deeper and hit some specific searches now. :thumbup:
