Neither.....I'd buy a Hightower.

I fell in love with the Sniper the first time I put one on. I occasionally try something different, but I always end up putting a Sniper back on.

Thanks Matt! No, it's not cored. I, personally, don't believe in coring (I'll probably get some sh*t for that :p). I've been turning this one over the course of 3 years, so I feel confident that it shouldn't move any at this point. Besides, I agree that Tulipwood gives a nice hit. I...

This is my favorite out of the latest batch. Specs: 18.8 oz. (14.8 butt / 4.0 shaft) balanced 19" from butt cap 13mm dia. tip .850" dia. joint (Bloodwood) 1.250 dia. Butt cap (Bloodwood) 3/8-10 joint pin Juma ferrule Laminted "Pigskin Pro" Tip Leopardwood Forearm and Butt Sleeve Bloodwood...

I had originally planned to inlay this cue, but decided the Tulipwood looked good enough on it's own. Specs: 18.9 oz. (14.8 butt / 4.1 shaft) balanced 18 1/2" from butt cap 13mm dia. tip .850" dia. joint (Black phenolic) 1.250 dia. Butt cap (Black phenolic) 3/8-10 joint pin Titan ferrule LePro...

Thanks Rick! I've actually bought from them before, but I prefer the 3M Sandblaster paper. Regardless, it's not the sandpaper that's the problem. If you try to sand the Enduro before it cures properly, it's like smearing glue into the grit. It will load up anything:(

I can't remember where I got the piece of wood for this forearm, but it is somewhat unique with the curl AND a light birdseye. Specs: 19.3 oz. (15.2 butt / 4.0 shaft) balanced 18 1/2" from butt cap 13mm dia. tip .850" dia. joint (Mahogany phenolic) 1.250 dia. Butt cap (Mahogany phenolic) 3/8-10...

Enduro Clear Poly When you refer to the General Finishes Clear Poly, I assume you're referring to the Enduro Clear Poly. It's my favorite of all the water based clear coats I've tried. I started buying it from the guy out in California (Compliant Spray Systems) who originally developed it...

Thanks! High praise coming from you Jim! I love your work!

Not so much. Thanks for the kind words! Actually, the inlays are not near as delicate as those done by many of the cuemakers I admire. I still have a long way to go with my CNC work, but it's coming along :D

I was happy with the way the design came out, but, unfortunately, there were some "spots" in the Holly that didn't show up till the final turn. Still a good looking cue IMHO. Specs: 18.2 oz. (14.2 butt / 4.0 shaft) balanced 19" from butt cap 13mm dia. tip .850" dia. joint (Rosewood) 1.250...

Hightower sells them Chris sells one with a 3/8" straight shank.

One more Bocote cue completed in the last batch. Specs: 18.5 oz. (14.7 butt / 3.8 shaft) balanced 18 1/2" from butt cap 13mm dia. tip .850" dia. joint (White phenolic) 1.250 dia. Butt cap (White phenolic) 3/8-10 joint pin Titan ferrule LePro Tip Bacote Forearm and Butt Sleeve Bloodwood/Maple...

Here's another one I recently finished. Specs: 19.1 oz. (15.1 butt / 4.0 shaft) balanced 18 1/2" from butt cap 13mm dia. tip .850" dia. joint (Mahogany phenolic) 1.250 dia. Butt cap (Mahogany phenolic) 3/8-10 joint pin Titan ferrule LePro Tip Bacote Forearm and Butt Sleeve Yellowheart inlays in...

I do it in steps If your simply loading a 1/2" drill and going to town, that could be the problem. I've got one of Chris's Mid-Size lathes and I always drill in steps when going to that size. After center drilling, I start with a 1/4" drill, then 3/8" and then 1/2". I've found that it's also...

I missed the K T too. How about more like this

I love it! "Dirty Dice" cue it is :thumbup: :lol:

Must be an optical illusion The same program was used for both. I'm guessing that it's angle of the picture that may make it look that way. Although it does look better in the black phenolic than it does in the mahogany, the "sharpness" is a problem with my cheap camera (and my lousy...

Here's one I just finished You didn't specify exactly what your looking for in a cue, so I just thought I'd throw this one up for your consideration. I offer a money-back guarantee on all my cues. If you don't like the cue after you receive it, return it in original condition and I'll...

Cat's eyes for 'Bill the Cat' Cues I spent a lot of time thinking about a logo. I'm really happy now well it came out!
