i have also run some independent testing of my own and people seem to be able to tell when there is 1oz or more added directly to the butt end of a cue. on cues with basically the same balance points guys have been able to immediately tell which cue is all natural weight and which cue has...

how does the shipping to a liscensed FFL work? how much would i need to spend to have it operational? not quite sure exactly what lowers means?

that bankroll in the top photo looks a lot like mine currently.:(

i'm sure Gus would have used West systems had it been around,but yes hide glue is actually better than people think.i would use it over the poly glues.

great advice here,though i use 800 grit instead of 600.i was turned on to this method by a friend and it really has been much easier since i started doing it.

automotive clear coat is the best i have tried.after you paint it,wet sand,then buff,then polish.

not a bad philosphy

thanks and we have a deal,if i win you got a piece coming your way. i think you are right on the reasonable pricing.good Brazilian really shouldn't cost an arm and a leg.i think $100 bd/ft is fair for the seller unless it is something spectacular.i have on occasion found very good Brazilain at...

anyone have any ole carbide mandresl that they don't use anymore,maybe too small now.i am looking for .820"

i really like those inlays.i am not generally a fan of inlays,but those are very tasteful and original looking,which in itself is rare in cues these days.

mine was a soft.feels perfect to me and so much spin i honestly couldn't believe my eyes. try the softs next time Ho.

me too and i weight 220.it was scary but it worked.not sure i would try it with a burl handled cue though. looks like you and i finally agreed on something.:thumbup:

not sure about this.it really isn't a heavy wood.i think with maple in the front it would be perfect balance/weight full splice wood.i am however guessing and have never built one or even a full splice period for that matter.

great price Bob.i would jump all over it if hadn't just bought a bunch of Kamui Blacks

probably but now it's 2 tons. i have a pretty high bid so maybe i'll still get it.

i think a 4" metal 3/8 stud is stronger than a larger wood stud,but that is just me.

i was reading the thread again and realized that i may have come off as an a**hole to 9ballbreak in my post. i apologize to you,i was just getting excited about winning a nice big fat piece of brazilian and didn't want anyone to know about it until i made some nice fat brazilian cues with it.

i really wish you hadn't posted this in the cue maker section since i am the high bidder right now and it's getting close.if i get it i will sell you a piece,but now that it is listed here at AZ,there is no way it will go for anything resembling a reasonable price.

i tend to get the opposite results.i usualy cut my butts in just over a minute with the 6 flute bit and have zero chatter.sometimes when i am cutting a cue with koa handle or Quilted maple handle i have to slow it down to 5-6in/min to avoid tear out and i will start to get a little chatter...

Kamui Black is the nuts.just played an hour or so with a soft one and it's the best tip i have ever played with.
