Phillipi is who used that a lot.

They should be fine. If anyone has any really old Triangles they are afraid to use I am interested in them. I am down to my last 6 and the new ones just are not the same.

You probably are using linen based instead of canvas based. So Canvas based is best.

I think Joey made his with 30 pieces of silver.

It was bought by another Cuemaker in New York form my understanding.

In my opinion these softer wood have their place in cues because many look great. But they should stay as inlays, points, handle sleeves and butt sleeves unless you cactus juice them and core them for forearms.

It could be either warp or taper roll. Could even be egg shaped shaft instead of round. I am not defending taper roll as acceptable. I am just saying it is a real thing and is not a warp. When the term was invented the majority of the cues had at least a little because almost no pins and inserts...

No, because the back few inches of the shafts were trimmed off center to the rest of the shaft. So it shows daylight and darkness when rolled.

Check the cues from the 70s and 80s and see how many pins were dead nuts like most get them today. I first heard this term from a Salesman in the late 70s when buying a Viking Cue. He let me trade it back in on a McDermott that rolled perfect. I agree something is not perfect if there is taper...

Here are a few examples of fancy ring work that are all inlays.

Chris does great work. That cue looks fantastic.

It is Taper Roll is not BS. You described taper roll in your post when you said it is possible the pin is off center. This causes the shaft to be trimmed with the back couple of inches off center to the taper of the rest of the shaft causing taper roll. This is how the majority of the cues from...

The best way to add ring work to me is small fancy shape inlays put around instead of two half solid rings. It will look better and not cause any possible buzzes or problems later

Pl Playing pool must make you smarter as I was a pretty stupid kid and have played pool most of my life and I seem to be getting smarter, so it must be the pool.

That is a great price.

No chance to make a living shooting for sure. But I used to play good enough on regular pockets to win a lot of tournaments through years. My son can run out on this table but way less often than before.

Well I have been playing with my "new" cue on our newly restored table. The pockets wound up getting tightened to 4.125 inches instead of 4.625 and I have only managed to run one rack from the break in a few weeks. I never liked tight pockets and wanted it like normal Diamonds. I should have...

Has anyone seen the Loctite Pro Gel? I bought a bottle and turned it upside down for several minutes and could not get any glue out. Turned it upside down for a day and could get glue out of it. I have not tried it.

I talked to Jamison and he said he has it up there for everyone to read for free. He also said donations are welcome to keep Dennis site and memory going.

I would talk to Jaminson Neu and see if he thinks it is okay for you to be giving Dieckman's book away. People had a fit on here when someone did that with Kesenbrock's book.
