    These are generally difficult guessing games. I have nothing, but ^^^^ may be on to something. What exactly is the piece made to be? A table top....a shelve? Looks as if it has a milled edge. Bubinga can grow into a very large tree. Knowing the width of the piece would also help with a...

    Anybody use an ash shaft?

    And if they find it they may get a "responsive" return! That happened to me once when I kissed my new girl friend! Very responsive! >just trying to help Freddie out responsive<reacting quickly and positively.

    Does everything need to be cored?

    If you're cutting points in you "might" be able to get away with it. But same as you my rule of thumb has always been coring BE even I am cutting in points.

    Does everything need to be cored?

    Hey Ryan.... Just curious what type of repairs you find most common on the other 1% so I can make sure I don't fall into that category! ;)

    Question about vision after Cataract surgery with lens implants

    Good friend of mine last summer had both eyes done. Opted for the LAL (light adjustable lenses) lenses. He is over the moon with the results. I'm still doing the research for myself but with what he has said has convinced the smarter half of the household to have hers done. She'll have her...

    Is it worth going to the Billiards Expo in Philidelphia?

    Plus the action tables in the down stairs at the Scanticon were a real hoot to watch. Not sure how they are now? Or even if they have them similar to the way they were.

    Is it worth going to the Billiards Expo in Philidelphia?

    It's been around 15 years not showing up for me. The EXPO...going to the expo. Not signing up for the women's Amateur tourney! 🥵 Last I was there it was still at the Scanticon. Great times to be had. No wait, I did go over once when it was in New Jersey. Ate at Harold's...I'm still full...

    difference in 3/8 10 and 3/8 10 modified

    I've always viewed the modified pin as a modified acme style thread. I use a 3/8-11 modified/modified pin. Well it's not really a 3/8 because it's been modified to smaller major and minor diameters and that's why it carries the distinction of being a modified/modified pin. However, the reason...

    Full splice vs. A-jointed cues vs. Full Core

    So does the tpi of the pin used. :unsure:

    Full splice vs. A-jointed cues vs. Full Core

    Not sure how you could disguise the butt? Blue tape some paper around it and leave a section of the grip area uncovered? Then you'd have guys saying "well I don't grip the cue there so that changes the way it would feel to me" Joints are much easier to do with some blue tape, but the whole...

    First Problem With Pirate Shipping

    I've advocated for years to not send cues in round tubes. DON'T DO IT BUBBA! Probably been more cues "lost" sent in round tubes than anything else. Round tube....rolls off the conveyor....worker picks its up.....looks at the tag...worker plays or knows someone who plays pool...round tube is...

    Your thoughts on outrageous cue prices

    Holy crap...you mean we're expected to eat and drive cars also? When am I supposed to have time to do that? I gotta get these cues done or somebody might be mad at me for missing my estimated target date o_O Gotta love Ray and Blues Brothers (rip John)

    Your thoughts on outrageous cue prices

    None taken..... Commercially, yes, you can be hard pressed to find trees that have grown as long as I am old. Privately, now that is where the "good" trees still are. You just have to know who is harvesting and processing this type of wood. That goes back to my making wood relationships post...

    First Problem With Pirate Shipping

    I'd pay a plumber $250 an hour. I hate that job more than electrical work. And I only know enough about that to get shocked every time I touch a wire. 🤯 Plumbing = special tools, secret hand shakes, being a contortionist, 23 trips to the hardware store, inventing new bad words, more trips to...

    Honduran Rosewood Burl cues

    You brought a tear to my eye. You will not find any HRB commercially kiln dried :unsure: Regardless of what is said, they get soaked in shellac when I get my hands on them. All that I have has been sleeping for a long time. Yet I still punch holes for cores and leave them sit for extended...

    Your thoughts on outrageous cue prices

    You'd be surprised how many younger individuals I talk with that have an interest in billiards history. It's up to you and me and everyone that loves the industry to point them in the right direction and make sure it stay's alive. Look at bell bottom jeans...who would have thunk they would have...
