ALL SOLD ---THANK YOU. While I am waiting for some more BRW to come in I thought I would offer some Laos RW squares. I have had these for about 10 years and they are dry and seasoned. Laos RW is getting kind of hard to find in nice pieces because it is now red-lined by CITES. This means...

Coring for tone There are some similarities in regard to materials used in guitars and cues. However, the top or sound board, the part that sound is mainly derived from cannot be use in a cue as they are primarily made from spruce with Sitka being the most common. Part of the wood in a guitar...

Threading Gary gave you the answer in the post above. You still have to experiment because different dies will give different results. Of course, the RIGHT, way is to machine the threads with live tooling. I assume you want what can't be seen to look as nice as what can be seen--the mark of...

PH Breaker WOW! Now that's what I call a compliment. Thank you very, very much. Bob

Full length coring Me thinks you are reinventing the wheel. Iv'e been full length coring for 15 years and got the idea from another guy. Over that period of time I have tried all kinds of wood combinations. I can save QM's a lot of time and trouble by just getting some quartersawn straight...

Ph cue A PH cue made entirely of curly PH will weigh several ounces more than one made from quarter sawn PH. With that in mind I only used curly PH in the handle sleeve. I also, with Paul's permission (full disclosure) I drilled a 1/2" hole, using a gun drill, from the butt end to about 1/3...

Just finished this one for Bill over in Colorado. It has a full length purple heart core with a brass pin, Juma Sleeve and butt cap. The trim rings are Macassar ebony and the forearm butt sleeve is Amboyna burl with a Tiger maple handle. The shaft is maple...
