ONLY 4 PIECES LEFT SALE ENDS FRIDAY UPDATED WEDSDAY, 3/2 @ 4:00PM PACIFIC TIME I've decided to sell my entire (mostly) cache of Camelia Rosewood (aka Brazilian Kingwood) I've been collecting for over 10 years. Why Now? Well, I'll turn 80 years old this year and have decided to go into...

Coring holes Three reasons why I pre-bore my stock prior to boring the core hole: 1. For a "starter" hole I use a 3/4" 4-flute end mill. Insures a dead center start. 2. On the exit end it eliminates blow-out. 3. When the hole has been completely bored I check to see if it bores a step at the...

Well, I turn my stock round to 1 3/8" and have a bearing centered in my rest with a 1 3/8" ID. If you have an undersize, or tapered, piece a collet will take up the difference. I also use a 4 flute end mill to make entrance and exits holes about 1" deep. There is a picture on my website...

Coring Exactly. Spend a little time aligning your bearing rest, make a few collets and you are good to go.

1939 Being born in 1937 I have a deep appreciation of the "old" ways of doing things although I do love CNC and DCC. Them old "buggers" where awful darn smart. God bless them.

Lathe Amen to that. It just takes a few minutes to set up a 36 or 40" lathe for coring.

ALL SOLD--- WILL BE OFFERING CAMELIA ROSEWOOD aka BRAZILIAN KINGWOOD SHORTLY AT 20% OFF I've decided to sell my entire (mostly) cache of Brazilian Rosewood I've been collecting for over 10 years. Why Now? Well, I'll turn 80 years old this year and have decided to go into partial hibernation...

Brazilian Goncalvo Alves (GA) is an excellent cue wood. Jerry Franklin (RIP) was a big fan of GA in his Southwest Cues. These pieces I have had for over 10 years and are dry, stable and seasoned and are ready to go into a cue. NOTE: The actual color is more like the bottom 2 pictures.

1 1/2" squares 20 years or more since harvesting. Also known as Brazilian Kingwood is next to BRW in the "perfect" cue wood category. Hard to find in these long straight grain pieces and legally imported about 10 years ago. Once these are gone there won't be anymore. Attached is also a pic of...

Both are sold but they cost between $400 and $450 depending on the forearm and butt sleeve wood.

Here are two "Merlin" breakers that I have recently completed. Merlin Breakers are made from a 1 piece billet of premium purpleheart and the forearms and butts are sleeves made from various woods suitable for a break cue. The pin is always G-10 as is the ferrule. The purpleheart shaft has a...

Ive had these for about 20 years and as most know Tulip wood from Brazil is getting hard to find. The forearm pieces are 12 1/2" and the butt pieces are 4 1/2 to 5 1/2". The 1st set consists of two pieces and is highly figured. The bottom set is less figured and consists of just 1 12 1/2" piece...

These pieces are perfect for that "once in-a-life-time full splice cue". They have been seasoning for over 70 years and are ready for machining once given some time to acclimate to your shop environment. This is the last of the long pieces and there will not be any more due to export...

Bocote vs PH IMO, bocote has a brighter hit than PH and it is a lot more expensive. Each has its place in cue building. Bocote is usually heavier than PH and is seldom, if ever, used for shafts or cores.

I have finished dozens of cues and several guitars with BirchWood Casey Gun Stock Oil and have never had a problem. The secret is about 12 THIN coats, hand-rubbed, with the oil and cue at room temperature. Wait a week or so and polish. Comes out like glass and very easy to repair.
