I'll call these B... B+ grade....may have some sugar marks, a birds eye, low ring count and/or some other small aesthetic thing going on. Some of this MAY still cut out when @ finish size. Overall, they have a good tone, straight grained and would make a good break shaft and/or sneaky style cue...

My disclaimer is I only use 99% melamine type material. 20+ yrs and no problems I can speak of. Strong enough to hold all my tips on also! ;)

You need to get some thicker skin if you're going to hang out around here! 🤓 It's been mild for the last couple years. 😉 Just add some TB red or blue and you're good to go. The only thing the glue is doing is keeping it from ever unthreading. The holding power is in the mechanical bond.

Or just buy in smaller containers. I date epoxy when it comes in. Anything longer than 12-14 months in the shop and it goes in the trash. Why you ask? Build a cue with some old epoxy and find out. Fresh epoxy is the best.

You have your cnc for any of that work. If you have the floor room and capabilities , 36 or 40" bed metal lathe and put a good DRO on it. You will thank yourself in the long run. Resell value is much better also...imo. With your cnc and and that lathe you can do almost anything in the cue...

tg, "No epoxy" does not mean "no adhesive". I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion by what I put in print? As pointed out by some keen, eagle eyed individual(s), there is a very common and well known adhesive that I use on my ferrules. I probably have a little different theory and...

Or NOT using an epoxy at all on a ferrule will guarantee you a clean application and look. You can't slip fit your ferrules tho. You have to actually do a little bit of work on them. ;) You also need two clean, flat faces to ensure a "no ring" look.

Black linen phenolic is the best. If you have the correct stuff! All those other plastics for collars have their own inherent problems.

Poor idea imo....hard to find a material equal to or less than the weight of just maple. True this similar style is used on CF shafts but think about it and why it used that way. It is also used on CF shafts in a much different fashion. People in the "low deflection" community group rant and...

Think about for just a second..........OK, benefit of doubt, make it a minute. It's not what they do.....it's what they don't do if you're not using them!

Only guessing on the date, but a good guess would be pre '90s build or very early 90's. All of his inlays (male & female) were done by hand on a Gorton pantograph. 99.99% sure the dark brown is Wenge. Dennis believed this wood was a highly desirable cue wood for playability/stability and looks...

From my experience, not only PH but many other woods (most all woods) will darken over time. As some have experienced, it can darken beyond a point that makes it hard to identify the wood by color/grain appearance alone. wood-database.com has a good amount of information on this subject. A...

It's an extra step but the end results are a superior method to slamming everything together on a 30" rod and filling the gaps with gorilla glue. Food for thought....
