Who's the guy to the far right???

Wonder if there is anyone actually policing the ivory ban anymore.... Maybe customs does for stuff entering the country. But in state? I doubt there is anyone even qualified to identify it. Don't ask, don't tell, and certainly don't post pictures on the internet. Walrus tusk ??

FOUL!! i had asked if she was still alive.

Are you still alive?

Red mallee burl and cocobola. BEM.

Not yet, and in no hurry to finish. Still waiting on a few things before the assembling starts..

Trying to sort out what I want for windows now. Was thinking snakewood, but I don't think it has enough contrast. Maybe cross cut zebrawood? Or... maybe a trip to the exotic hardwood store?? ;):LOL:

WIFE: Why do you keep buying all this wood? You buy it, then go play with it in the garage for a little bit, then you just leave it sit and go buy more wood. When are you going to make an actual pool cue??? ME: I'm working on it. It takes time and the wood needs to rest after turning...

I really enjoy seeing these cues and the styles they are built with. I would love to get a closer look at them and how they were constructed.

Very unique... I like

I'm still just poking along at a snails pace watching the wood blanks move (warp) before my eyes... 😆 Have my gun drills now and working on getting them set up to core a 25" long piece of cocobola that I've turned down to 1.3" . Will be a stepped core. One heavy chunk of wood thats for sure...

Wouldn't an ash shaft be better for a whippy shaft??

Bookmarked for future reference.. ;)

Not sure what your asking.. But my personal thoughts are to cut your teeth on some cheaper wood first to build your skills up. There's lots and lots to learn thats for certain.

Thanks 😊 I'll be posting pictures of the builds as i do them.

That would mean another trip to the exotic lumber store 😁 :cool:... not complaining at all, but there's no way I could walk out of there with just 1 piece of holly... Or without spending a few hundred bucks ! :rolleyes: I think i might have found something else to use that I'll order up on...
