They don't suck, they blow. (Humor, not a correction.) Right now Florida is saying BLOW ME. Here in Are-We-Gone, we just had a 6.3 quake off our coast yesterday. We will get a very large one some day, could be tomorrow, could be a thousand years from now.

The only plausible reason would be to hide a defect. Not a factory defect but a ding or dent that the guy put in his shaft, filled in with super glue or epoxy and sanded down to hide the defect. As recommended, use with caution.

Exercise resistance bands. Think of a very large rubber band that is around 3" wide and 1/16" thick. Cut it so it's no longer round but straight. Wrap it tightly around the Pin and keep wrapping until its thicker than the joint. Start twisting and the force will increase more than your...

Good morning Chris, excellent point. BRING MARK BACK. Invite ALL Pros from the industry who were trolled and rolled out of here. Keep the Pros, ban the trolls.

My first cue story? It all started with a kid in school who kept bragging about how good he was. He said his dad just bought a new table and cues, claimed his dad was the greatest. Remembering how my Grandad taught me that it was not the cue, it was the person holding the cue, I asked the...

BREAKING NEWS! The CDC has issued a quarantine notice for one Pool Cue and it’s owner. Doctors have been ordered to use a Scope on the Butt crack, stay tuned as we get a hand, I mean a handle on the situation.

POSTS OF THE MONTH AWARD? Goes to Ssonerai. Great posts, Thanks for sharing. (I will not be making my own, this thread will not help me but the postings are awesome. I use a full size router and my bits use a 1/2" shank. I use BamCarbide in Salem Oregon to sharpen them. He can...

Nice cue Michael. If I was local, I would stop by and play a few games.

Are you trying to be funny? It made me laugh, Joey does not boil a thing in this case. Linseed oil has impurities from the get go, just buy Linseed oil and you will learn. OR Buy BLO (Boiled Linseed Oil) and the impurities are already boiled out. I hope my half smartassed answer helped so...

Birds Eye at it's finest. Anyone would be hard pressed to find better. Great job Joey.

Michael, I was so happy to hear this that I decided to read every comment. All the food talk made me hungry. Great job Michael.

I had a vision of Eddie Murphy rolling in on his board with wheels, on his knees. He looks up and says I CAN SEE, I CAN SEE!

Call Jim at "The Cueball" in Salem. He has a fantastic Pool Hall here and he's been in the business since 1963. Just google the name and it will pop right up with the number. A national billiards magazine did a great article on him recently, one the countries finest Pool Halls and...

Michael, I have kept up with this entire thread every morning while I enjoy my coffee. I enjoy studying human nature and the things we humans do. One thing stands out with you. You're in a tough situation and every day you compliment people or say things designed to make them feel good...

I do agree with you for the most part. Lumber has already been graded long before we see it, it gets graded as it comes off the line. Further grading is up to the specific industry. Shaft grading? Again, up to the individual cue maker. The nicer the grade of shaft blank, the more money...

This one may look like another one but this one has Ebony with Cocobolo in between the rings. I had other ones to post but the file sizes were too large, sorry I couldn't post the Red Dragon Juma.

A two piece handle.

This one is made with Ebony, it has 18 Brass rings with Green Juma between them and on the butt cap.

Here's one with Ebony. I have done a few cues with the Green and one with the Red but I don't have any pictures at the moment.

I made this one a few years ago for a Nationally recognized Artist, it's been my Avatar ever since. Many moons back I hiked the tallest mountain the lower 48, Mt Whitney. I hiked along the Jon Muir trail. The customers last name was Muir, upon inquiring, I learned that Jon was his Great...
