An excellent outcome using some beautiful wood. I enjoy watching your progress on full splice cues. I also appreciate your cue cut program.

Lots of folks, Jack, will continue to pray for your precious wife.

How many nutjobs like you live in the Philippines? I doubt you know anything about carbon fiber shafts or anything else except "Orange Man Bad" based on your posts in NPR.

I would venture to say that most, not all, CF shafts are made in China. A friend of mine(also a cuemaker), has tried to work with 4 different companies in China to develop a shaft to his specs. The specs are very reasonable to achieve but quality control is, or so it seems,hard to find in...

How, exactly do you "get gold". Several years ago, I made the contribution but did not know one had to "turn it on".

I am out of popcorn but this thread did provide a couple of days of nail biting drama. These cues may turn out to be extremely rare. Ghost OB Ebonies! Get ready, Dean. The orders will come pouring in, er, well. once the 5 million different opinions help us nobodies make up our mind.

Dean, No one knocked his business, his attitude was not called for.

If this Forum has reached the point where one can't offer some thoughts regarding playing pool, the Administrator needs to start charging the "real" Instructors and we can all be students and pay a fee to learn. I often wonder how many of the "instructors" have gambled at all, especially have...

Father, bring healing to Pam and comfort for Jack. We all need your guidance, love, and healing.

I started playing the game in the mid 60's with a few old timers. One variation played was if you sold out the game, you had to match the largest amount owed. Brutal at times, especially if you had a newbie in the game and they had lots of hickies. I am sure the game goes back a long time.

Not a Buss.

Well, you built a couple of winners but I am partial to number 1. Nice work!

So, a stabilized spalted maple front will not benefit from a purpleheart core in regards to hit?

There once was a hustler from Texas Who left all his cues in a Lexus 2 Rhinos he swore He left on the floor But when he returned there were 4.

I think you made a great purchase. You are correct, there are a lot of cues built with rings that don't perfectly align. That should not be a deal breaker in that price range. Finally, you are moving the economy along and pushing the Trump train with your purchase!!!

Black ash burl or Honduran rosewood burl.

Give it a sweet name and they will buy it.

I respect the man for finding a job that should pay him a nice income. Making a living in the pool world is difficult as you witness the low payouts for tournaments. I hope he continues to prosper in his job and, when he can, enter the larger tournaments. Maturity will solve some of his...

Coring solves the problem of using your curly maple. It can be used as a front, handle, or butt sleeve. If you like it, any quality cue maker can utilize the curly.

Joey perfectly explained the situation and the need for a higher charge for wrapless. No one ever asks for straight grain maple as wrapless material.
