Joint review I've recently taken delivery of a large QTY of these. With 11 years experience in Engineering, oil & gas, and manufacturing I can whole heartily tell you that the vacuum joints are excellent. The machining is 1st rate and every joint fits perfectly (I tested every one)...

Thanks Meridian, Give me a shout when the green is available in 13" please. I'm trying to put a quote together for my customer. Thanks, Exile

this is the sort of thing i'm looking for.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some of the dyed green birds eye maple (or other wood if not). I need a length of at least 12". Any help would be appreciated. Shipping to the UK. Thanks in advance, Exile.

Cues are easy. All you need are 2 things. Lots of resource (time and cash) and no family commitments. It's great fun though. Best of luck.

A couple of recents from me. Left: Cocobolo cut with the grain. Right: red mallee burr. Not sure which I prefer though.

I know your pool cues are totally different to our snooker cues but a lot of us use Raw Linseed oil. We actually like our shafts to darken with age. Sticky? Absolutely not. A well oiled shaft stays smooth for years. I oiled my cue a couple of times a year for the first two years and have never...

Voted, best of luck and Merry Christmas.

Hi Kenny, Sorry i didnt realise you had PM'd me. I'll Take a look now and get back to you right away. Thanks, Karl

Hi Rick. These are all for English pool so about 57" length and 8-9mm tips. Thanks very much :) Sorry but its not for sale, its a custom order. Typically though it would be around £325 + P&P. (ABOUT $535USD + P&P according to xe.com)

A few of my latest pokers, finished and WIP. I hope you guys like like them. As you can see, Olivewood is going down well with the punters lately.

I know i'm not actually "asking the cuemaker" here but i thought a few of my fellow craftsmen might appreciate this... http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/we_are_what_we_do_master_craftsman_eric_hollenbeck_on_the_workshop_as_remedy_25967.asp

Here's a few more of my offerings.

Hi everyone, Not been on here in a while so I thought I'd share my latest snooker cue with you all.

I'm a new cue maker too. Been at it for about 18months. I've had to ask people for advice. This is the key, ADVICE, not how to's. I hate been told how to do something. There's no point in doing anything if your not willing to make mistakes. I have a bunch of expensive back scratchers in the...

That was superb. Thank you for sharing.

Beats the hell out of my 240sq/ft :-( At a lathe, always stand when cutting.

10 points :-)

I buy wood. I make cues. Simples. The only things I don't create from raw materials are the tip, joint (if it has one, some snooker cues don't) and the badge which I get laser engraved because I don't own a laser engraver or any cnc machines for that matter. I used to turn the joints from raw...

Yep. That's pretty much how snooker cues are made. I make mine slightly differently but the same principles apply. Mostly done with hand planes.
