Did not note that it was stabilized. I think it is too late for stain but you could still try it. At any rate update on the progress you make.

Well, stop talking about it and do the damn video. You say it comes partially out, not completely out. Prove it. Otherwise, I see no point in this ongoing drama.

What did the cuemaker tell you about expected delivery date? If he gave you a date(say 9 months), I think it would be ok to ask at about 6 mos. how the cue was progressing? Some cue makers absolutely do not want to be contacted. When it is ready, they will contact you. I would not be concerned...

could be part of A joint or the cue maker's way of binding the veneers and point wood to the front. keeps them from lifting.

Stain it with a color that will hide the pink or make it look tannish brown.

I did reach out to hi and he told me not available, so which is it, he does or does not have them? Perhaps that came off as harsh but I did contact him by email. His reply "No, sorry".

He is out of business but I searched some older threads and see several options.

Would anyone be willing to share photos of their dust collection setup for a metal lathe? I have a 36 inch Enco gear head lathe that I use with a router mounted on the tool post, on the operator side of the cue being turned down. I considered a plexiglas box but it would seem to be truly...

I assume it is not signed. If the cue is fairly slim, and, if it has been refinished. It could be a Toeboy. I should have read the original post more carefully. It is too big at the butt to be a Toeboy. Sorry.

I lean towards Asia but could not pin down a Country. The joinery is not great but the woods are nice.

41 inches, 13 mm or a little over with a stiff taper, hard ferrule material and a hard tip. "I think most of the posts agree on the basics of a good jump cue but, to me, the stiff taper is crucial.

My setup is similar to Joey's, using a PVC T to provide a way to collect the dust. I have that all mounted to the tool post and the gundrill is mounted in the tailstock. Like Joey, I move up about 3 inches with the tailstock handle, then move the tailstock mount forward as I reverse the...

Very well done, JC!

Hand to eye co-ordination. Eye deterioration.General loss of strength. and finally and probably the biggie, your legs weaken and even tournament races wear down your legs. When the legs get tired, your game goes to shit.

potassium permanganate mixed with water. Older method used also on gunstocks especially muzzleloaders. When mixed up it has a purplish tint but the stain is reddish brown when dry. More coats, darker finish.

I am with you. who has a solution? As an aside, I took a wooden dowel of the correct diameter and used a panto graph to cut .020 slots in it. I think I cut them .030 deep. I then used gold foil to cover the entire ring after it was parted from the dowel. I used a needle to press the foil into...

They do not have enough length for tapering and such. You can do inlays just as Willee stated.

Oh for the days when cues "hit a ton"!

What he said. Why screw up a perfectly good game(as it is currently played)? The goal seems to be speed up the game not improve the game. If the promoter is unhappy with the time involved, limit the number of entries to a lower number. Oh wait, that cuts into profits.
