Not a cuemaker but interested, I have a couple of cues made by Bob Flynn at Denali cues. He once detailed his finishing technique on this site, he uses a bunch of coats of thin CA and then finishes with TruOil. Not sure if he still uses that method or not but I've been happy with my cues so...

I recently acquired some wood from a furniture maker for what appears to be a really good price. Even if it doesn't turn into cues they can be some really nice shelves. My question is: How do you go about evaluating a board for cue blanks, and then how do you choose where to cut? For...

I've been interested in cue construction for some time now and I'd like to know if there are any people making cues in SE Wisconsin that would let me come and check out their shop and see some of the process firsthand, maybe ask a few questions. I just ordered Chris Hightower's book, looking...

When I started getting serious about pool, I decided I wanted a custom playing cue. After looking around, I found Bob Flynn of Denali Cues and asked him to build me one, and I liked it so much I had him build me another (actually two, but the one not pictured I had him build for my dad). The...

Thank you both. The pin is indeed 5/16-18, the pilot was throwing me off as I've mostly owned flat-faced cues. I did a bunch of searching, it seems like it doesn't matter much whether or not you put a piloted shaft on it. Once I got the cue, it turns out that the shaft is actually really...

Specifically looking for a piloted 5/16-18 but also would consider a 3/8-10 or a 5/16-18 flat faced for a couple other playing cues.

I'm looking at purchasing an old Viking cue. Best I can figure is that it's a B series cue with a Type A joint (Implex to Metal). Some of the cues I enjoy playing with most have been random old cues mated to newer LD shafts, but these old Vikings have some of the less common pins. Are there any...

This is Justin here, and I'm extremely pleased with the quality of the work and the quality of the wood in this cue. Pictures do this cue no justice, once I was able to look at it under the pool table lights the wood really shone. Every bit of craftsmanship is top notch. The feel of the hit is...
