    Rarest Exotic woods

    I have many times. I flew to CA and met with man who had containers full of HRB. Ebony....I only want solid black because that's what my top customers want me to sell them. Good wood is getting harder to locate and purchase.

    No one said the wood was a major cost. However you can have all the knowledge and tools in the world. No wood.....no cue.

    No worries. After your first response to the OP tells me you would never be one of my customers anyway.

    Rarest Exotic woods

    I guess I could have simply said if I pay 300 for a piece of wood my upcharge would be 900. Most of these woods I am referring to can not be replaced today. If by chance you do find a replacement you'll pay thru the nose. I'm not talking about a piece of PH or BE maple. Example... 1.5x18...

    Rarest Exotic woods

    Your rebuttal is a mere assumption on your part. My customer is purchasing one cue, not 3 pieces of wood. So now you are calling my customers that understand this reasoning an idiot?

    So you buy a gimmick and pawn them off on your customers? Which is it? A viable product? Or a gimmick?

    Rarest Exotic woods

    Dalbergia woods are the most common for upcharges. Ask someone to build you a Brazilian tulipwood forearm and back sleeve (a nice strawberry colored one 😉)! Last ones I looked at were going to cost me $300 a stick. That means I would need to upcharge $900 for just the wood before I even start...

    Setting the pin dead nuts

    Floating your joint pin in a puddle of epoxy is one of the dumbest things you've come up with yet. Where do you indicate off this floated pin technology? Off the end of the bullnose I suspect? Think about it for just one short 15 seconds of your life. If you are indicated off the...

    Setting the pin dead nuts

    I would never drill a final hole to fit anything I wanted to be close to finished size. But that's just me. Anything I wanted close to precise is going to be bored out.

    Tip popping off

    1>Your cutting tool is not sharp. Without seeing your set up and the tools you are using, tool push off is the problem. 2>If the tool is sharp, what ever is holding the tool has slop in it and is causing the push off. 3> The alignment shouldn't matter for a flat cut. If the tool is sharp and...

    re :: INLAYS , has anyone used Moon Stones 🍀

    No, it's not manmade or from a "meadeors"....not even sure what that is. 👀 It's not even from a meteor which I assume you were trying to spell. Google is a terrible thing to waste!

    What air compressor are you using?

    You can use it to see what different noise levels are of different things and it'll give you a better idea of approx. where 70 db sits in the grand scheme of things.

    What air compressor are you using?

    If you're going to do any coring/spraying with your compressor I would suggest a minimum of a 25 gal unit. I bought a less expense model (oil motor) for around 300$ over 15 years ago. Just change the oil every year and they'll last for a good long time. I built an insulated closet in the...
