Probably the same suppliers the rest of us can buy carbon fiber parts to build a shaft. That or a cheap Asian wholesaler most likely.
Materials are around 120 bucks. Then a bit of labor. Way less than a maple shaft that’s for sure.
I use a narrow attachment on my air compressor and blow this stuff out. Then wipe it with mineral spirits and blow it out again. I used a modified basketball needle with the end snipped off until someone walked off with it. Been meaning to make another one but a tiny cone attachment works well.
I would stabilize all burls. You don’t know what lies beneath the first few cuts deep in the middle. Could have a nasty void or some rot.
I’ve seen too many clean pieces get nasty deep inside. Stabilizing helps hold those bad ones together for coring.
Sure it is. Cancel culture comes in many forms.
He’s so soft he had to put someone on ignore because he couldn’t handle another person’s opinions.
He had to do this publicly and announce it to everyone.
I’ll stand by you on this one. Being a HOF cuemaker doesn’t excuse you from being a POS. Funny how the fanboys here are the ones constantly virtue signaling their own ethics.
Do you core everything? I’ve not worked with Tulipwood yet but I was under the impression that it’s dense and similar to rosewood. I’ve never cored rosewoods or ebony… woods like that.
I bought a set in blue from you some years back and can confirm these look just as fantastic in person as they do in these pictures. Top notch dye work.
I can’t help you but I’ll caution you to do any business with his son. Who ripped me off for a few hundred bucks over a buyback of two of his dad’s cues I had.
I’ll admit partial fault for having a heart and sending the cues to him for partial payment and a promise.
If you send this cue to him...
