    Does the type of joint really affect the value of a cue that much?

    Putting the cue butt down while waiting or as it was very common back in the day (and still a little now) to bang the cue on the floor to praise a good shot, the bumper dampened that noise.

    Assembling A joint thoughts

    I usually have the tenon on the forearm and into the handle. It can go the other way if you need to move the balance point. builder's preference I would say.

    Rhino 'Time' and 'Time Crystal' tips

    I’ve installed a few that people brought to me. They cut very nice. Using the knife on the sides makes it pretty smooth. Doesn’t really burnish. Have not played with one so I can’t speak to that.

    This Song is For You!

    My league captain, named John, loves that song. Pretty much plays it every time. If I don't like the music playing or the background people or noise, I can usually tune it all out. For me though, if I can time the jukebox right, new and classic rock is my go to. Old school Rush, Zep...

    Real leather cases?

    Not Black, but I know I've seen a black version. You can also send him the material you want, and if it will work he will make it. The OP's case is a common one I've seen a lot. Recently on marketplace $15.

    Why Pool Leagues Should Embrace “ALL BALL FOULS”

    I’ve been in a league for about five years that has all ball fouls. There are less disputes and drama than you think. Sure occasionally there may be a dispute, but it is usually resolved without much of a problem. If it is a stalemate they just re-rack. Only saw that happen once. A shirt...

    Are they the same brand? That’s a waste of some great wood. I love mine, super smooth and plays great. Zero finish.

    issues solved

    I don't know if it is a language barrier thing or a typing/proof reading issue. Your post is difficult to read and causing confusion. People are trying to answer the question as best as they can decipher what you are typing. Did he send it to you, and you gave it to someone to refinish or was...

    How to clean wood shaft after every use?

    There is usually a napkin/paper towel available, shirt tail if not. I just use that dry. No water (liquid) ever. You just want to wipe off excess chalk and dirt with a dry towel. Alcohol and magic erasers are for maintenance cleaning, not out in the wild or daily cleaning. You'll strip off...

    kielwood shaft finish

    Are you saying there’s finish all the way up the shaft from one into the other? There should only be finish on the first few inches of the joint end. A brand new shaft should not have run out like what you are describing.
