Thanks Mike. I agree that some woods have to be cored because of its properties.

Thanks Jer!, lotsa help Hadj

Do curlys need coring if say bending caused it? Would it have a tendency to warp more compared to BE and straight grained maple? Hadj

Eons ago, I just held the ferrule over a candle and watch it melt :D

JER, does finishing with cyanoacrylate after the auto-clear advisable? Needed or would be better or not? Hadj

Is it made of carbide?

I encountered a similar problem before. I had a tap made with a pilot guide for 3/8-10 TPI. Another thing to make sure is that the other end of the shaft or butt is supported/centered at the rear with a rear chuck or steady rest for perfect alignment so when the pin goes in, it's in the same...

Very good insight Tom... my playing cue has a bubinga forearm and I love the way it hits :)

Send a PM to Blud... he'll get you want you need

I agree it's pretty heavy... Does it have to be cored to lighten it up? Planning to use it as a forearm and the target weight would be 19oz with a maple handle Thanks

I too have come across a similar article which was published sometime late 80's... things is, it's the american pool analysts and pros who consider Efren to be the best ever... who am I to argue with Earl, Deuel etc. when they say Efren to be the best?! I just nod in agreement.

I've seen the match on TV and indeed it\s quite slow... what puzzles me is Danny's routine, he gets down on a shot.. (I know and noticed he hasn't chalked up yet, which means he'll get up again soon to chalk up) makes several practice strokes, then he eventually gets up (chalks up) and does...

You could check out Arnot's site or Dennis Dieckman. I know they offer cuemaking lessons. Another option is get chris hightower's book... I'm not sure about the coverage of his book but I believe it covers what you want to know

Does anybody know the list of WPC 9ball champs? from Pre-WPC up to present?

Make sure the tailstock is centered, then you could cut a piece 10in. length and measure both ends... the difference indicates a tapered cut. Check how far you have the tram out of the tailstock, make sure it is going in and out of it straight. Another thing to look out for is there may be a...

JER... to be honest, in my 2 years of cuemaking and learning the ropes, I havent seen the effect of nelsonite yet. I've used it on my shafts... I turn approx. 4-6 week intervals. I dip before the final 2 cuts... but before this. the shafts were pretty much straight so I.'m using nelsonite as an...

nICE JOB! Nice sharp points! What kind of set up did you cut them with?

Man that was quick... I could still remember you and I discussing what you want built in my shop... I have to hit with that cue whether you like it or not :D All wood no ivory for a change? LOL

I guess I got lucky I had it on my 2nd cue... but I believe it had something to do with the shaft taper. I experimented on 2 tapers I was workin on at that time for the 1st and 2nd cue. Found the charm on the 2nd. Had a chance to hit and play with 5 different cues from different CM's at one...

Are those recut points? Hard to see if they are mitered at the box-corners... actually I don't see it. I could imagine the workhours behind that cue... awesome craftsmanship
